I tend to agree that keeping defaults consistent is a good idea. I think that, subconsciously, the reason I designed the proposal the way I did was because I think the default of unqualified is wrong. But that's not a battle I wish to fight, and this kind of consistency has real merit. When I take a pass through the proposal to update it, I'll either add this (making unqualified the default for the new features) as a fleshed out alternative or incorporate it directly, depending on which would read more easily.

Thanks,
Richard
