The REC distinguishes between attribute decls and attribute uses in
order to allow refs to global decls to have their own defaulted and/or
fixed values. We correctly fall back from the use to the decl in
checking fixed values, but we don't actually specify the fallback in
building the default. This actually requires a one-word fix (insert
'effective' before {value constraint} in Schema Information Set
Contribution: Attribute Default Value in section 3.4.5) with a link to
the definition of effective value constraint.
This is a 'must fix', in my view.
