Are data types manditory?

Must you allways specify the data type as in this
example the data type is ui2  (Unsigned integer two
bytes)  Are white spaces ok around the data? for
example a new line and tab before the 139 as well as a
newline after. 

<NewExternalPort
xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes"
dt:dt="ui2">139</NewExternalPort>
