Yes, I think I can agree with that. But if you have specified a missing value state, unsetting the attribute amounts to telling it to be in a that state. In this case you are just changing the underlying situation so that it maps to a different state. Likewise, if you have specified an illegal value state, setting the attribute to a value that is a member of the corresponding illegal value set, amounts to telling it to be in that state. If you haven't specified a missing value state, however, unsetting the attribute will lead to a situation where the state is undefined. That's when you (hypothetically) would bring in a default state. -- Henrik
