[tei-council] Quick survey of defaultVals

[Martin Holmes]

If I wanted to explicitly remove the default value, in my original example:

             <elementSpec ident="list" mode="change">
                 <attList>
                    <attDef ident="type" mode="change" usage="opt">
                       <valList mode="add" type="closed">
                          <valItem ident="ordered"/>
                          <valItem ident="unordered"/>
                       </valList>
                    </attDef>

                 </attList>
              </elementSpec>

would I do it simply by inserting this?

<defaultVal></defaultVal>?

Cheers,
Martin
