When I asked a long time ago, the answer was: to allow for the files to be used with processes that didn't/couldn't read the DTDs. > We'll try to implement the following heuristic in next release: > Copy attribute A from convertee E1 to converted E2: > [a] if the schema allows E2 to have an A attribute, > [b] AND if attribute A has the same data type and the same default value > (or absence of default value) for both E1 and E2. > Rule [b] will be new to next release.
