We read the following:

    XML does not support attribute minimization. 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.

Cheers,
Rob.
