question about mask inheritance

I have the following:

         prompt# getfacl .
        # file: .
        # owner: a2bcm
        # group: pdt
        user::rwx
        group::rwx
        group:teamleads:r-x
        mask::rwx
        other::r-x
        default:user::rwx
        default:group::rwx
        default:group:teamleads:r-x
        default:mask::rwx
        default:other::r-x

         prompt# touch thatfile

         prompt# getfacl thatfile
        # file: thatfile
        # owner: root
        # group: root
        user::rw-
        group::rwx                      #effective:rw-
        group:teamleads:r-x             #effective:r--
        mask::rw-
        other::r--

what I am trying to understand, is why `thatfile' was
created with mask 06, but its directory has a default ACL
that specifies a mask of 07.
