One is the standard value for a user option (variable or face), where "standard" essentially means defined by defcustom or defface (IIUC). The other is the value a variable has in a buffer if there is no buffer-local value (setq-default). The former is called "standard". The latter is called "default". I found a couple of places in cus-edit.el that said "default" when they meant "standard", but the distinction was mostly maintained. There is no need to reopen this issue.
