This means if the client and the server for a particular package is in a single package, we should build both by default.
No thanks. That doesn't match the standard operating procedure mentioned above. By default, why don't we just build whatever $UPSTREAM intended built by default? It means that different packages will behave differently throughout the tree, but that's okay, and is more Gentoo-like than your proposal.
To facilitate building the client portions only, the use of the local "minimal" USE flag is allowed.
How will you support building the server-only portions of the package? I don't want clients I don't need on my servers. "client" and "server" USE flags would appear to make much more sense here (for packages that have any such clear distinction), and will play better when USE-based DEPs become reality.
