I don't know of any way to get defaults for non-numeric attributes without using the API.
As for the .ma file syntax, there is a method of MPlug called getSetAttrCmds() which returns a list of setAttr commands in the format that they appear in a mayaAscii file. It has three filters for selecting which attributes to return: All, NonDefault, and Changed.
