Yes, but what you save in the writing, you lose in the reading: a SAX client reading your XML element would have to buffer the whole contents until it got to the end tag to make certain that there were no important attributes there. A specific version of a specific XML document is written only once, but it can be read many times; when you are forced to choose between adding complexity to writing or reading, writing should end up drawing the shorter straw.
