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).
