[jdom-interest] NoSuch*Exceptions in JDOM

[Randall Parker]

This brings up (to me at least) what is an interesting point: One would want to know for an optional attribute that has a default in the DTD/XMLSchema whether one is getting the default or the real specified 
value. 

If there is a default (haven't personally used DTD default values so far) then the API does return the default when the value wasn't there in the XML document?
