DTD:

  <!ATTLIST foo
    bar CDATA "hack">

Document instance:

  <foo>...</foo>  
    The attribute "bar" has the value "hack", and is not specified
    (i.e., it is a defaulted value).

  <foo bar="hack">...</foo>
    The attribute "bar" has the value "hack", and is specified.

  <foo bar="hello">...</foo>
    The attribute "bar" has the value "hello", and is specified.


All the best,


David
