Perhaps the CSS3 User Interface module should be changed a bit then, to
quote[1]:

# The :default selector applies to the one or more UI elements that are
# the default among a set of similar elements. Typically applies to
# context menu items, buttons and select lists/menus.
#
# One example is the default submit button among a set of buttons.
# Another example is the default option from a popup menu. Multiple
# elements in a select-many group could have multiple :default
# elements, like a selection of pizza toppings for example.
