 I now have to look seriously at the default
 attributes issue,

It is always possible to do the attribute defaulting in the stylesheet
so that it works even if the dtd or schema isn't read.

So if you want

<xxx>

to act the same as

<xxx yyy="yes">

but are not sure if the dtd or schema supplying that default will be
acted upon, then write your xsl like so:

<xsl:template match="xxx">
 <xsl:variable name="yyy">
  <xsl:value-of select="@yyy"/>
  <xsl:if test="not(@yyy)">yes</xsl:if>
 <xsl:variable>
...
... rest of template, but use $yyy instead of @yyy ....
