Crimson 1.1.1 bug: default attribute value is not returned.
Hello,
Yesterday I evaluated your new crimson 1.1.1 package and found that it
contains a bug. If DTD declares attribute with default value, and element in
xml document does not specifies this attribute, then parser should return
default value for this attribute. This is how crimson 1.1 was functioning,
but 1.1.1 does not anymore - it returns empty string.
Hope you will fix this.

As I read the DOM spec under ELEMENT_NODE at
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html#Core-Document-importNode,
it says that default attributes are _not_ copied. So I'm not yet
convinced this is a bug.

I was not able to reproduce your problem. Could you send me a simple
test case?
