Right, you can disallow refraction in JRules, so, it is only the default 
that is the other way around.

So, "no-repeat" cannot be the default in RIF-PRD, since it is not the 
default strategy in some of the major engines (it seemed so natural to 
me that I assumed it was the default in most, if not all, engines... Or 
am I just biased :-).

Which probably means that there should be no default, and the intended 
conflict resolution strategy must always be explicit (see also Adrian's 
argument against a default strategy, in [1]).
