In nit-picking mode one could argue, that your indentation suggests,
that the tree only gets populated with attribute default values out of
a DTD, if a validating parser is used. If the document has an internal
subset with attribute defaults, the tree got populated with defaulted
attribute values, even if a non-validating parser is used. It is even
possible, to use a non-validating parser, which read external entity
including an external DTD subset. It's a minor note, anyway.
