XHTML requires that you don't use empty attributes (They call
it "attribute minimization". If you don't like this you have
to use HTML 4.01 in the header of your document):
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.5

And it requires lower-case HTML tags also ;-)
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.2

As a funny sidenote: The W3C found it neccessary to mention in
their compatibility guildline, to state that some browsers have
problems with boolean attributes:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_10

I'd suggest checking your HTML with their free checker:
http://validator.w3.org/

Or if you want to do it the Perl-Way (e.g. in automated test
scripts):
http://search.cpan.org/~petdance/HTML-Tidy-1.04/lib/HTML/Tidy.pm

This might save you lots of trouble. On the other hand it's
always a good idea to compare how different browsers behave.
