Alas, OpenStreetMap is a database that speaks of defaults all the
time but that <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Defaults">refuses
to encode them</a>.<br>
OSM's defaults must be encoded in other databases.<br>
Best known are the default speed limits that belong to every other
GPS programs.<br>
Instead of just reloading OSM data, users must upgrade those
application when they change.<br>
So, this discussion belongs in those other databases.<br>
<br>
All the best,

<div>eg in Australia, UK, Western Europe, US "most" buildings
will have mains power of one type or another connected, while
in less developed countries eg a lot of Africa, "most"
buildings wouldn't?<br clear="all">
