DTD:

<!ATTLIST foo
bar CDATA "hack">

Document instance:

<foo>...</foo>
The attribute "bar" has the value "hack", and is not specified
(i.e., it is a defaulted value).

<foo bar="hack">...</foo>
The attribute "bar" has the value "hack", and is specified.

<foo bar="hello">...</foo>
The attribute "bar" has the value "hello", and is specified.

All the best,

David
