Juanma is not the one who claims that the current default value is the
correct one; you are. I hoped you could explain why you think so.

The design supports both values. I question the default. I don't
object to allow the other value if it is useful in some marginal use
cases.

Actually, no, it doesn't. It generally records only values that
should be usable.

I don't see how that is relevant. Being able to explain the problem
doesn't necessarily mean a solution is at hand.

You aren't.
