Re: [xml-dev] Validate **against** a schema OR validate **with** a schema?
Defaulting values came from SGML days and DTDs.. So it's been around for a while. Many folks have wanted the validation and augmentation steps separate though no real progress on that.

imho, "validation" and "augment" should be kept separate... If you

I don't know the history of it, but I would guess defaulted values
were a late addition to the validation process, rather than something
included from the beginning??
