I disagree. We're not talking about pedantry (or realism) here, but rather, the starting scenerio: on the runway with the engine running, or parked with the engine off. Since we don't have a generic way to specify the parking location for every airport, it makes sense to default to the former. For 0.8.0, as John and Curt have suggested, it will be nice to have a lot of canned startup scenarios (perhaps in an $FG_ROOT/Scenarios directory), like the canned aircraft config files, and some of those can start the plane parked with the engine off.
