I don't think it's codified, but that's what the CF checker does. Requirements and recommendations are clearly separated in the CF conformance document. Breaking a requirement gives an error; not following a recommendation gives a warning. In this case, if we agree to keep a default, I think we would recommend that the calendar should always be specified, so that a warning would result if it wasn't (in which case the default applies).
