It doesn't say that there is no way to turn off the defaulting. I don't know whether there is; if someone with easy access to IIS could check, that would be great. The Apache issue is not just that there is a default, but that it's a bad default and there is no way to not have a default at all. Luckily, it sounds like this will all change. Another ten years, and maybe UAs can start changing behavior accordingly... -Boris
