The value notation "{0}" is not a value of the CHOICE type, and cannot be used after the word DEFAULT.

Hello ASN.1 experts,
I have a CHOICE type that is defined like this:
time-SecondFractions CHOICE { deci-seconds INTEGER (0..9), centi-seconds INTEGER (0..99), milliseconds INTEGER (0..999) ) DEFAULT(0)
I have a problem interpreting what the BER standard says about encoding such a field. On one hand, members having the Default value are not to be encoded. In a SEQUENCE, the class of the members is context specific and the tag numbers are used too determine which member is present and which is absent.
On the other hand, BER says that the encoding of a choice value shall be the same as the encoding of the value of the chosen type. If the inner members are not OPTIONAL and cannot have a DEFAULT VALUE everything is fine. But if they are OPTIONAL or if they can have a DEFAULT VALUE (such as my case, above described) I am confused.
If my chosen type has exactly the default value, how do I encode the Choice?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Best regards, Eddie
