Hum, no. Validation will not change the document, if it was doing that
I would get killed immediatly by angry users...
I don't think we have at the tree level a way to automatically add
defaulted attributes, this is something usually done at parsing time.
You may be interested in
http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-valid.html#xmlValidGetPotentialChildren
and
http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-valid.html#xmlValidGetValidElements
to get the list of defaulted attributes and their value
http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-valid.html#xmlGetDtdQElementDesc
and then walk the xmlAttributePtr attributes list and check defaultValue.

you could look at MlView for inspiration ...

but honnestly a generic editor is a daunting task, believe me !
