Hi all, I think a couple of messages got lost when the lists went weird last week, so I thought I should summarize something I need feedback on. I was under the impression that I had the go-ahead to remove defaultVals when the Council was convinced it was a good idea, but Syd reminded me that we should actually deprecate things for a couple of years before removing them. However, there is no mechanism for deprecating <defaultVal>; it's not a member of att.deprecated so it can't have @validUntil added to it. So I hereby recommend that <defaultVal> be added to att.deprecated. If I don't hear any shouts of objection within the next couple of days I'll do that. That of course will require that the Guidelines build then do something with @validUntil on <defaultVal>. That will be my next order of business on this ticket. Meanwhile, I've created this wiki page with all the current defaultVals: http://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php?title=DefaultVal_candidates_for_removal It turns out that there are no required attributes with defaultVal, so that low-hanging fruit doesn't exist. Cheers, Martin
