DOM Lvl 3 [1] is currently being developed and _does_ include schema information, BUT this schema information is not the W3C XML Schema information. It is "schema" information in the original sense of the word. Having said this, both DOM Lvl 1 and Lvl 2 allow element information items to contain default attribute values that have been specified in some "schema" (I think they had DTD in mind). I'm not sure if the xerces parser will supply these defaults if you supply it with a schema. Try it and find out. mick [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-DOM-Level-3-Core-20010126/
