If the document says "this is the default if no explicit value if given", then I consider that just as good as providing a value each time. Meaning, the attribute *is* in fact present, just not explicitly spelled out on the element. I would specifically like to avoid adding a new option just to override the way the document distributes its attribute value spelling across DTD and document structure. In particular, the .get() method is the wrong place to deal with this. You can probably configure the parser to ignore the internal DTD subset, if that's what you want. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46798> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
