Hi Martin, I assume you're referring to the DOM's behaviour when you remove an attribute that has a default value defined in the DTD. The DOM spec says [1] that a new attribute is added when a default value exists. There's no user option for turning this off, though if you're eventually going to serialize the document you can instruct an LSSerializer [2] to discard default attributes (and content).
