Re: EDD Read/Write Rules and Attribute Values

[Dan Emory <danemory@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In Frame 6.0, when an attribute has no default value and no value has been 
entered, FM+SGML displays <no value> in the Attribute dialog and the 
structure view. However, since attributes having no value are not exported 
to SGML, nothing is written out for attributes that have no value.
