i'm having a difficult time finding info on requirements for specific
minimized attributes.  there's the following from w3.org:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.5

however, it just says, attribute minimization isn't supported.  whenever i
need to use an attribute that is generally minimized in html4, i just take
the attribute name and use it as the attribute value.

disabled="disabled"
checked="checked"
selected="selected"
nowrap="nowrap"
