When a default/fixed attribute/element value is of type QName/NOTATION, how is it applied to the instance? For example: <attribute name="att" type="QName" xmlns:p1="my_uri" default="p1:local"/> If the above attribute doesn't appear in an instance, we should add a new attribute. But what would be the (string) value of the added attribute? (Note that the prefix "p1" might not be declared in the instance, or it's possible to be bound to a different namespace uri.)

Here is a second attempt at recording the discussion history of wd-22; if this works, these URIs will be recognized as URIs and hyperlinked. 12 Dec 2000 (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2000Dec/0028.html), 17 Jan 2001 (http://www.w3.org/2000/12/xmlschema-crcomments.html#sisc-attdefault), 2 Mar 2001 (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2001JanMar/0286), 6 May 2005 (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2005May/att-0028/2005-05-06minutes.html) The email from Jonathan Marsh to the XML Schema WG on 24 January 2004 under the subject line "Schema infoset fix-ups" is also relevant (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-wg/2002Jan/0090.html). This is the second of three issues raised in that email. The first is recorded in bug 2102 (for 1.0) and 2105 (for 1.1); the second in bug 2103 (for 1.0) and bug 2748 (this issue, for 1.1); the third in bug 4159 (for both versions).
A proposal to resolve this issue was approved at the WG's meeting in New Orleans at the end of January. Final amendments to the wording were approved in the call today, and the wording is being integrated into the status quo text. Accordingly, I'm marking this issue as resolved. Because the original request has NOT been fulfilled, I'm marking the resolution as WONTFIX. The short description of the resolution is: the infoset fixup described in the issue description is implementation-dependent. The originator of the issue, Jonathan Marsh, has been contacted separately, as will the XML Core Working Group, which is responsible for the XInclude spec from which the issue arose.
