a convenient way is to use the remapper:

\mapXMLvalue {list:packed} {yes} {packed}
\mapXMLvalue {list:packed} {no} {unpacked}

and then:

\defineXMLenvironment
  [list]
  [packed=no]
  {\startitemize[\XMLval{list:packed}{\XMLop{packed}}{}]}
  {\stopitemize}

no fuzzy testing involved, just expansion (fast and clean)
