It is not intended to suggest that. Nothing in the infoset draft is meant to suggest anything that is false :-) We can reword it to something like: When there is a declaration of an attribute for an element type, an XML processor that processes that declaration (which a validating processor is required to do) must supply the default value of that attribute when the attribute does not appear in a start tag for that element type (5.2). -- Richard
