Looking more at the docs, I guess this is working as designed.
However, this seems like sub-optimal behavior. I would expect JiBX to apply
a default value only if an explicit default="..." attribute was provided.
Otherwise, there's no way to have the same non-zero/null default value apply
in both the Java and XML worlds without having to declare that default value
twice (which is error-prone and redundant).
