(Sorry because the problem is quite a technical one.) Oxygen does not seem to comply with this specification: RELAX NG DTD Compatibility http://relaxng.org/compatibility-20011203.html --- 3. Attribute default values ... A correct RELAX NG schema is compatible with this feature if after schema simplification, for each attribute element that has an a:defaultValue attribute, all of the following hold: ... * any ancestor that is a choice element has one child that is an empty element * it has at least one choice ancestor ... --- In plain English, this means that a required attribute cannot have a default value. But may be Oxygen is right and we are wrong because the above specification has been superseded by a more lenient one.
