IIRC, the argument to change 'auto' to 'default' was to avoid changing the behavior of the auto value for the already-proposed color-profile property (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/CR-css3-color-20030514/#icc-color). Indeed, the old "color-profile: auto" is exactly the opposite of what we are suggesting "color-correction: auto" does.
However, since we decided to use a new name ("color-correction"), then I'm not sure whether the argument to use 'default' applies.
I think there was also some concern that browsers could evolve the implementation of auto/default over time, and 'default' left more wiggle room for browser to change.
