The attribute value can be set with XMLWriter::text(), e.g.:

<?php
$writer = new XMLWriter;
$writer->openURI('php://output');
$writer->startDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');

$writer->startElement('response');
    $writer->startElement('status');
        $writer->startAttribute('code');
            $writer->text('500');
        $writer->endAttribute();
    $writer->endElement();
$writer->endElement();

$writer->endDocument();
?>

... generates:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response><status code="500"/></response>
