If you have DocBook installed locally, you should have a file called docbook.dcl, which contains the "SGML declaration" of DocBook, and somewhere down contains this: FEATURES MINIMIZE DATATAG NO OMITTAG NO RANK NO SHORTTAG YES So if you google for something like "markup minimization shorttag", you can find more information. For amusement, contrast this with the SGML declaration of HTML: FEATURES MINIMIZE DATATAG NO OMITTAG YES <-- This is why you can omit <body>, for example.
