As far as I know it is valid to skip attributes for empty values but for some attributes it is not valid to use empty values.

Let's not use the term valid in this context, as it's pretty overloaded here. In the general case, there's no way to know what string values can be dropped silently, and it's wrong to assume that it can be done safely. Using a special value (None, a.k.a. nothing in templates) is the only reasonable indicator that an attribute should be dropped. -Fred -- Fred L.
