Just to toss in my two cents, I find the whole idea of default 
attributes reappearing by magic to be deeply surprising, though I 
suppose this is a symptom of XML's mixing of validation and instance 
data, and also a symptom of the complete lack of a decent model for 
schemas in the DOM.

I would be very happy to see the default attributes not get 
automagically reapplied following a deletion of the attribute. If I 
want to delete an attribute, I expect it stay deleted, damn it!
