Hi Andy,

Alex is trying to maximize lazy binding.  That is, as a general statement,  unless 100% sure, groupings should never specify the “default” or “mandatory” statements, leaving it to terminal “uses” statements to specify.   His comment raises to the level of something that could be an addition to rfc8407bis.  

Thoughts?
