If that were the suggestion then I would offer a -1
Optional attirbutes, with defaults, just make things even more unreadable.
eg: If we decided that the default target was called "main", unless the
build file declared otherwise, then you could have:
<project default="compile" name="foo">
<target name="main">
...
</target>
<target name="compile">
...
</target>
</project>
And IMHO, that is more unreadable, because you have a "main" target, but
it's not the default target!
I'm not sure if I support Peter on this, but I definately am opposed to having
an optional default.
