Is this the syntax you are expecting/using or is this what is generated?
I don't think it is correct; attribute/value pair you quote earlier is
the right syntax, I believe.

This is probably a FAQ, certainly the question has come up before.
Assuming we are transforming to HTML:
Do your <li>s contain <p>s? If so, the <p> element and its margin and
padding characteristics may be overiding the spacing="compact"
characteristic. You can check this by putting a CSS rule within a
<style> element in the <head> of your document or into your external
stylesheet:
li p {padding:0; margin:0;}
and see what changes, if any, occur. Manipulate this rule to refine the
spacing if you want to affect the <p> child of <li> or change the <p>
characterisitcs overall with a p {} rule.
If you are viewing XML according to DocBook, you would substitute <para>
for <p> in the selector.
