Michael, >> I thought that "fixed" did not imply "required".

It's not a facility I have ever found useful. Actually, this is very useful in the work we are doing with UN/CEFACT. In many cases we want to use default values for things such as code lists and code list owners in our schema - i.e. those we (UN/CEFACT) own. However, there may be occasions where our users want to use a different code list. By using the default value for our attributes we neatly handle this.
