It would be useful to omit the comma. It doesn't parse otherwise ;-)

"An implementation that provides a system-wide toggle SHOULD assign the
 default value to disable this feature"

However, this still reads oddly; I'd prefer:

"If an implementation provides a system-wide toggle to enable/disable
UTO, that toggle SHOULD be initialized to disable UTO."
