Hey,
Boris is correct here. The problem is we just don't know about them.
You could serialize to an in mem buffer and then parse/validate it, then
you would get them.
Cheers,

The DOM specification says this about createElement
(http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#ID-2141741547)
Creates an element of the type specified. Note that the instance
returned implements the Element interface, so attributes can be
specified directly on the returned object.
In addition, if there are known attributes with default values, Attr
nodes representing them are automatically created and attached to the
element.
I believe this means that the default attribute nodes should be
created in the createNode implementation. Or am I misunderstanding the
spec?

In order for this to work the document needs to be validated
"on-the-fly", as you create it. This is necessary in order to
associate schema (DTD or XML Schema) definitions with document
nodes so that when you ask for an attribute that does not
exist, the default attribute set and their values could be
consulted.
I don't think this is supported simply because if it were, we
would have also had in-memory validation, which is definitely
not supported.
