Applying schema and default attributes

[=?Utf-8?B?VmVudQ==?=]

This is my simple schema
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema elementFormDefa ult="qualified" attributeFormDe fault="unqualif ied"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="Applicati on">
<xs:complexType >
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="NotesList ">
<xs:complexType >
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Note">
<xs:complexType >
<xs:attribute name="SectionID " type="xs:intege r" default="1"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here sample XML file…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Application xmlns:xsi="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespace SchemaLocation= "Nodes.xsd" >
<NotesList>
<Note />
</NotesList>
</Application>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My question is, in the XML file the attribute of “Note� element is not
supplied, since in the xsd the attribute has the default value as “1� - When
the schema is applied to given XML, will this copy the “default� from Schema
to XML ??

If so
1) How to apply the XSD to XML so that attribute is copied??
2) How can view the content of XML after schema is applied (just to make
sure that attributes are copied)
I’m a new to this area, please can you help…

Thanks in advance..

Cheers
