I think this is only true for HTML, but XHTML insists on having a value for `multiple`, and it must be `multiple`. The same applies to `checked` and other "no-value" attributes.

The only difference is that XML (and thus XHTML) requires that you specify a value if you specify the attribute. XHTML does not impose any extra requirements on what the value is. It's must either be `multiple="multiple"` in both or in neither.	[reply] [d/l]

XHTML does not impose any extra requirements on what the value is. It does, actually. See the DTD: `<!ATTLIST select [...] multiple (multiple) #IMPLIED` [download] That defines the 'multiple' attribute as having an enumerated set of possible values. Though in this case, there's not much enumeration to the set :) EDIT: Actually, on re-reading, I guess I may just be agreeing with you...	[reply] [d/l]
