But the releative pronoun is referring to the prior NP. Consider the output for
"deren" and corresponding examples:
die<+REL><subst><Fem><Gen><Sg> - die Frau, deren ich gedachte
die<+REL><attr><Fem><Gen><Sg> - die Frau, deren Kinder ich kenne
die<+REL><attr><NoGend><Gen><Pl> - die Männer, deren Füße ich küsse
Agreement is checked for number and gender with the NP of the matrix clause and
(only in cases of substantive relative clauses) for case with the verb of the
relative clause . Your patch allows for:
*die Frau, dessen Kinder ich kenne

ok, I can treat "deren" and "dessen" as exceptions as far as agreement is
concerned. However, I can't think of any case where an attributive "dessen"
would be in case agreement with anything else - as far as I can see, this only
applies to the substituting one.

I am still not fully convinced: What about "Ich habe einen Freund verloren, den
ich häufig vermisse." vs. "Ich habe einen Freund verloren, dessen ich häufig
gedenke."? Attributive relative clause with case agreement between subordinate
verb and relative pronoun.

in your example, 'dessen' is used as a substituting pronoun. I'm perfectly fine
with its analysis.
I'm only concerned with "dessen" in the attributive function, i.e. when it's
headed by a noun (and I don't mean the noun in the matrix clause, but "Kinder"
in my first post).
