There is nothing in XML 1.0 requiring XML processors to make this information available, however.

Ignoring ATTLIST declarations in the internal subset altogether is forbidden, because defaulted attribute values must be properly reported. -- Not to perambulate || John Cowan <jcowan@r...> the corridors || http://www.reutershealth.com during the hours of repose || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan in the boots of ascension. \\ Sign in Austrian ski-resort hotel
