More precisely, I don't think there is any way to define what the term
"default behavior" of a tool means in any objective way, when we don't
want to specify the selection mechanism used by the tool.  That makes
such a requirement meaningless.

I would support removing it.  It doesn't seem like a high-priority item,
but it would avoid pointless discussion in the future (in this group and
with users) about which behavior is being selected "by default" by some
tool.
