There is no evidence for the presence of such a constraint in XML;
the relevant clause (3.3.2) is silent. Clause 3.3.1 does require
that ID attributes have a default of either #IMPLIED or #REQUIRED,
but no restrictions are placed on IDREF, IDREFS, ENTITY, or ENTITIES,
so they may have default values in XML.
