Subject: DOCBOOK: Re: refresher on what "Default" means for an attribute?


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

/ "Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@mindspring.com> was heard to say:
|   for something like <itemizedlist>, what does it mean for the "spacing"
| attribute to have no listed default?  i'm sure someone explained this to
| me once before, i've just lost it (the answer, not my mind).

It means the processor is free to impose any "implied" semantics that
it wants. In this case, probably 'normal' spacing.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
