I am not against specifying defaults (reasonably), I only don't like the
fact that changing a default value implies a different data model. I
understand the data model primarily as a means for checking whether a
given document is valid or not and default values are irrelevant in this
respect. It is already difficult to standardise the knobs and default
values are yet another level.
