Well, I thought it was obvious from the context.  I say, I want to
change <app>.  I then throw in a new @resp.  Since there is no existing
@resp, it seemed obvious to me that the change consists of adding this
new attribute.  Maybe I got too used to languages that attempt to
magically "do the right thing"...

There is an example that changes <div> to use a closed valList for
@type and one that removes attributes from the linking module.  Both
do make extensive use of the @mode attribute, so maybe that should be
enough to alert the reader to the fact that this might be necessary in
the case I was attempting.  However, I wonder that if it is really
necessary, would'nt it be helpful if the Schema would say so and allow
a parser to indicate the problem?

All the best,

Christian
