Right on! The problem is that there isn't such thing as
default value. It is only for skrink-wrap software that
you pruchase from stores.
Another options that you might want to consider is to not
have a default and explicitly require the user to enter
the value suitable for their environment. This will
probably require some example value that they can use.
Well, we can all publish our preferred value for our
environment.
