Either way works for me as long as it''s clear. As John suggests,
commented defaults might be appropriate. My pondering was in context of the
scope & purpose of the QSG. One contributor had suggested the QSG''s
role should be explicitly limited to deploying the samples only (in addition to
reference links to advanced topics.)  The important thing is clarity and, to the
extent more of this is clear, it also helps delineate the QSG''s scope
in general.
