Reduced/Simplified XML

Is there any specification ("official", "proposed" or "defacto") for a
reduced XML syntax that removed all attributes and only used tags and
content, but preserved the semantic structure of the original XML?  e.g.:

Before:

<TAG attributeA="value_1" attributeB="value_2" attributeC >
	Content
	<SUB_TAG> Sub Content </ SUB_TAG>
	More Content
	<SINGLE_TAG attributeX attributeY="val" />
</TAG>

After:

<TAG>
	<attributeA> value_1 </attributeA>
	<attributeB> value_2 </attributeB>
	<attributeC />
        Content
        <SUB_TAG> Sub Content </ SUB_TAG>
        More Content
        <SINGLE_TAG>
		<attributeX />
		<attributeY>
			val
		</attributeY>
	</SINGLE_TAG>
</TAG>

Ian.
