xs:attribute with empty fixed value

Dear friends of the XML Schema,

I am not sure if this question has been asked before, at least I was not
able to find an appropriate answer.

Here are my questions:

1. Is it possible to enforce an attribute to have an empty value in all xml
documents when using the following definition in my XML schema:

	<xs:attribute name="emptyOne" type="xs:string" fixed=""/>

2. Additionally: Is it equal to:

	  <xs:attribute name = "emptyOne">
		<xs:simpleType>
		      <xs:restriction base = "xs:string">
		       	<xs:length value = "0"/>
		      </xs:restriction>
		</xs:simpleType>
	  </xs:attribute>  ?


Thank you for your help,

Best regards,
Peter
