It was intended a the time, but proved being a bad choice later
on. Note this is the default for Document and News Item in CMFDefault,
but not for Image and File. The distinction makes it even harder.

Limi has given his approval for me to fix this to have more saner
defaults, but I've been a bit busy lately. I hope to still find time
this month to do it.

If you want to discuss what 'saner defaults' should be defined as,
and maybe write a PLIP, that would ease my job a lot.
