Attribute-value pairs must be written in full. Attribute names such as compact and checked cannot occur in elements without their value being specified. CORRECT: unminimized attributes <dl compact="compact"> INCORRECT: minimized attributes <dl compact> So even if you aren't using XHTML yet, it's wise to get into the practice.
