Default attributes from a DTD aren't added when you construct an
Element, nor is that a feasible feature to implement in my opinion.
Elements may exist separate from a document and be moved within a
document, which means your proposal would have attributes automatically
added or removed depending on element position.
The model is that JDOM ensures documents are well-formed at runtime, and
will (sometime in the future) allow validity to be checked on request.
