Re: [xml-dev] SGML default attributes.
Not sure what you are saying.  I thought you could default in the DTD

The attribute-default-value can have the following values:

ValueExplanation
#DEFAULT value
The attribute has a default value
#REQUIRED
The attribute value must be included in the element
#IMPLIED
The attribute does not have to be included
#FIXED value
The attribute value is fixed

Can anyone recall why attribute value defaulting was dropped
when XML was created?

Does it seem 'useful' to anyone now?
