It should be inferred by the XML parser because the DTD says this:


  <!ELEMENT host            (log?, mapping+)>
  <!ATTLIST host            name CDATA "paperclips-root">

The string at the end of the attribute definition is a default value
to be used when no value is supplied.

This is my understanding of the spec. Maybe I'm wrong.


However, I've checked in your suggested fix.
