Does libxml support default values in the DTD in any way (in addition to
recognizing them)?
Should it?
I have a DTD with default values and I kind of assumed that, if I didn't
supply a value in the XML file, libxml will fill in the default value
into the parse tree.
But, that doesn't seem to be happening.
Is there some approved/supported way of handling DEFAULT DTD values?
E.g.,
<!ATTLIST Spec
Name CDATA #REQUIRED
Type (Normal|Abnormal) "Normal" >
then:
<Spec Name="Sponge">
When I look at the parse tree, there doesn't seem to be any help for
getting the default value for the Type attribute.
