My intuition is they should, but the spec seems to suggest they are not checked, because those attributes are neither "validated" (required by IDREF in section 3.15.3) nor "string valid" (required by ENTITY in section 3.14.4). Seems that when applying element value constraints with those types, IDREF/ENTITY special rules are enforced. 6350 1 sandygao 2005-09-19 21:19:34 +0000 Discussed during 2005-09-09 telecon. Classify as clarification with corrigendum. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2005Sep/att-0073/2005-09- 09telcon.html#item07 15200 2 sandygao 2007-05-25 13:35:21 +0000 Discussed at 2007-05-18 telecon. Adopted the following proposal. - When attributes with ENEITY/ENTITIES types are defaulted, the constraint "String Valid" is used to ensure there are corresponding entities declared in the instance document. - When applying ID/IDREF rules, take into account default element/attribute values.
