The docstring for `mode-line-format' does not link to
`default-mode-line-format', and there's no way to find it from looking
at the help for `mode-line-format' because the source link for
`mode-line-format' is to a C source file, which is probably not even
installed and even if it were contains no information about the default
value.
Basically, this is a suggestion to include "`default-mode-line-format'"
somewhere in the docstring, preferably near the top.
In GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

Why does it need to be mentioned at all?
C-h v default-mode-line-format
This variable is obsolete since 23.2;
use `mode-line-format' instead.
Documentation:
Default value of `mode-line-format' for buffers that don't override it.
This is the same as (default-value 'mode-line-format).
