Re: Default Attributes and XSD

Thanks, Wendell,
In this case we want to move from a DTD-based project, with a huge XSLT,
to a XSD-based workflow.
The first step is getting the existing stylesheet to run (only one
single Transformation is allowed)

My first thought was, to try different saxon configuration features and
options in combination.
--expandAttributeDefaults..., --xsltSchemaAware..., -val etc.
but with no succes.
