Hum, this might be a misunderstanding, libxml2 new SAX2 shows defaulted
attributes only if they are effectively defaulted, i.e. they are not
in the input element stream but are marked as #FIXED in the DTD.
The previous SAX1 simply didn't reported them, and currently SAX2
report those but allows to ignore them by specifying how many attributes
were defaulted (and they show up as last items in the array passed in
the callback).
If the attribute is in the input stream the value from the DTD is not
reported at that level.
