• 7.9 defines the syntax of attribute value specifications, and requires an attribute value spec for each defined attribute unless one or more of the following is true:
  • the attribute is impliable (i.e. it was declared with a default value of implied, see 11.3.4)
  • SHORTTAG YES or OMITTAG YES is specified, and the attribute is declared with a default value, or with a current value that has been set by a previous occurrence.
  
  
  [Sic Bas, LA, MGML, Min, SL, SO; mod. NSGML, PSGML, TEI. NSGML does not require attribute value specifications for defaulted attributes. It does require attribute names and attribute values of type name or names to be uppercased. PSGML and TEI both allow the omission of attribute value specifications for all non-required attributes, despite forbidding other forms of shorttag.]
