RE: [xml-dev] Validate **against** a schema OR validate **with** a schem

["Michael Kay" <mike@saxonica.com>]

 > Sorry to interrupt for a question which may have been answered, are there really validation APIs which do that "augmentation" of adding default values to a XML instance ??
 

Are there validation APIs that don't?

 

Whenever you parse an XML document with validation against a DTD, what you get back is the document with defaulted attributes expanded from the DTD.

 

Same happens when you parse with validation against an XSD schema.
