This is what I understand the "default behavior requirement" is about. 
Btw, the "compliance model" requirement also mention optional features.

We also discussed avoiding trviial compliance: is requiring that all 
compliant implementations list the feature they "opted out" enough for 
that purpose, or do we require that the specification of a dialect lists 
a limited number of optional features? Wouldn't that bring us back to 
the discussion of what is the bottom line?
