My recommendation would be to NOT skip the closing ; as it is easy to miss 
if you go back later and add more to the style definition

Personally I've started using this format:

p 	{
		font-weight: normal;
		font-size: medium;
		font-face: Verdana, Arial;
		color: #000;
	}

as I find it much more readable and I catch mistakes more easily

(Also don't forget a generic font-family name, ie 'sans-serif')

ps - I just wrote a little article about this topic (markup format)

and would appreciate any feedback (offlist) you might offer
