Don't look to that document for any information about default UA behavior, or anything at all about UA processing behavior. I tried to make that very clear in the abstract and intro for that document. It's a non-normative doc that's intended simply just as a reference > I suggest explicitly defining defaults for the benefit of both UAs and > HTML authors.
