True, but in OSM it's currently at best awkward to have a complicated set of defaults, because then that information has to be encoded into all renderers and routers. We either need to have a single global default or to have some machine-readable specification of default values based on admin_level regions. Given that so many rules are different, and that we don't have enough explicit tagging, I think the machine-readable specification approach is the only workable one.
