Having to have a list of boolean attributes bothers me, too, from a forward 
compat (and testing) point of view. It's bad enough that the serializer has to 
have a list of void elements. Since it's possible to make the serializer not 
require a list of boolean attributes, I think we should choose the path the 
doesn't require a list.
