Question concerning DOMDocument::createElement()

========================================================================

 Hi,

 I have a (probably trivial) question concerning the createElement
 method of the DOMDocment class. Its documentation says that

  "In addition, if there are known attributes with default values,
   DOMAttr nodes representing them are automatically created and
   attached to the element."

 Now where should such information on attributes' default values come
 from?

 My initial assumption was, that if the DOMDocument was generated by
 a validating XercesDOMParser then such information should be available
 from the schema/validation process. However, this does not seem to be
 the case.

 Am I misinterpreting something?

 Regards
 Marcus

This information comes from a DTD, more precisely from the DOMDocumentType 
object that the DOMDocument owns.
