           Summary: [DM] Default value now well-defined for mixed content
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLFO / XSLT
           Version: Recommendation
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Data Model

This relates to 

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=2630

as a result of which the XDM spec contains a paragraph in section 6.2.4 saying

[Schema Part 1] also permits an element with mixed content to take a default or
fixed value (which will always be a simple value), but at the time of this
writing it is unclear how such a defaulted value is represented in the PSVI.
Implementations therefore may represent such a default value by creating a text
node, but are not required to do so.

As a result of decisions by the Schema WG: see

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-query-wg/2007Nov/0085.html

it appears that the above paragraph can now be deleted. (However, before
publishing our erratum, it would be a good idea to see which XML Schema
revisions or errata actually fix the original problem.)
