Whether necessary or not, a document will get written, and I'll try to
get it accepted as a standards-track RFC.

I agree with the sentiment, but this isn't exactly the language that
I'd use in a RFC. :-)

I'd rather put something like:

"""
In particular, if nothing is explicitly specified, then that MUST be
interpreted as equivalent to the following:

List-ArchivePolicy: 1 (ask: permission from the list-owner is needed)
List-GatewayPolicy: 1 (ask: permission from the list-owner is needed)
List-RobotPolicy: 1 (ask: permission from the list-owner is needed)

"""

Are there any objections against this language?

Greetings, Norbert.
