The debate about the default state is irrelevant until the meaning of the 
state is actually agreed upon, or atleast an implementation is set that is 
likely to stick around.  In other words, default to what sort of const?

Now, back to the regularly scheduled lack of agreements on what sorts of 
constantness should exist.
