As I replied to Robin, I'd rather make it more explicit in the config file. I think it would make it more readable/understandable without requiring to know/hard-code all the default values. It's a question of taste. My suggestion was more to mandate the content element, to mandate a type attribute and to allow nesting them for indicating the precedence or use document order (multiple content elements, like the icon element).
