attribute default value in sub element

[Erwan]

Hi

I have the following DTD (extract)

<!ELEMENT d_field (table_ref?, item*, lst_caption?, frm_caption?,
frm_layout?, frm_alert_onvalid?, input?, list?)>
<!ELEMENT input (onvalid?)>
<!ATTLIST input
default_value CDATA #IMPLIED
modify (normal | disable | restrict) "normal"
noentry_select CDATA "- - >"

as you see the element input is declared as zero or one occurrences

my question is can I get the default value of an attribute in input if
the element has no occurence in d_field ?

thanks
