That tradition stems from SGML, and in SGML it was also possible to minimize this kind of true values by telling attribute without value. The habit has carried over to XML even though it doesn't support attribute minimization. The reference can be found in the SGML handbook if you wish, I suppose. -- Flammie, Gentoo Linux Documentation’s Finnish head translator and FlameEyes’ bot <http://dev.gentoo.org/~flammie>.
