A few words just saying that the implicit fallback mapping is
implementation-defined but may be defined by a future spec or something
may be helpful. I don't know if I consider it required, but I don't
think we need any _more_ than that.

As to the question of defining implicit mappings, I feel that that can
wait until a future spec. Additional interfaces can be designed to
add/inspect/modify implicit mappings, and everything else in this spec
stays the same. And such a thing would certainly be optional, complex
enough and need very mechanism-specific definitions that I think it
warrants its own separate document.

I defer to others on how that would be best represented in the current
doc. For right now, I don't think we need any configurability or
specification for implicit mappings beyond "the server has some
hard-coded rules", but in the future we may want more than that.
