Well, if there is no filter, you do not filter. Is this not obvious?

Why? Even in RESTCONF the content query parameter can be absent.
If this query parameter is not present, the default value is "all".

I do not think the RESTCONF text talks about depths of parent keys which are
auto-selected. Here is what the I-D says:
"For each node selected by the filter, this parameter
selects how many conceptual sub-tree levels should be
returned in the reply. If the depth is 1, the reply
includes just the selected nodes but no children. If the
depth is 'unbounded', all descendant nodes are included.";
What exactly is missing?

Yes, I think the idea is that all filters apply. Do you have a
concrete proposal?

Well, the set of origin values is not necessarily static. There are a
bunch of concrete values defined in RFC 8342 but technically origin
values are identities and thus extensible. Hence, if you want every
config true node which is not origin intended, then you better use
negated-origin-filter since trying list all origin-filter values is at
least fragile. Bottom line: if I want 'all except some', I use
"negated-origin-filter" and if I want 'all where' I use
"origin-filter".
