This really isn't the appropriate list for a question about XML Schema.
*blush* Ha! that's true! Sorry all for the interruption. I'm using
transforms in the code, and forgot
that the real question wasn't about xalan. oops.
Why can't you just used the "default" attribute in the element
declaration?
again. stupid me. yes of course. I was looking at the <xsd:simpleType>
definition for one.
thanks again.

I have a class that implements an xsd enforcer, ie, it makes sure that an

problem where if a new simple content element needs to be inserted,
because
it is missing in the instance, i don't know what value to give the text
node.
I couldn't find any way to specify 'fixed' or 'default' values for text
in a
schema definition, like you can with attributes. Is this true?
If so, how would you suggest doing this? Can i add processing
instructions
into the xsd file? Is that rational?

Any ideas, Thanks!

<xs:element name="foo" type="xs:string" default="blah"/>
