I would consider those as a distinct new tests. We do not have clear enough guidance from the WG to know if default attributes from an internal subset should be considered "known" and therefore should be provided. We do know from the WG that they believed the existing tests over-reached and tested behavior that was not always required. However, they didn't state the conditions under which the behavior was required. If the behavior was never required, then the tests should be deprecated. By my changes, I'm asserting my interpretation that the behavior is required when the parser is validating since validation presupposed knowing the content of the DTD. p.s. Marking the tests as requiring validation will only cause them to be reported as Not Applicable to non-validating implementations.
