That's not what I don't understand.

I don't understand why you are confused.  Specifically, cascading
context-depended defaults of this kind are commonly used in system
administration and software configuration.  They're pervasive in
Mailman, and have been for years.  People have been coping with the
context-dependent use of the word "default" in this way for many
years.  Why is it now a problem?  I don't understand.  That could be
just me, but your explanations don't help me understand yet.

Further, if you look at the list-level configuration for that option,
it will be called "list default", and similarly for the documentation
of "default processing".  We'd need to at least think about making
those consistent with your proposal, including in the documentation.
And that's on top of the translator issue.
