I don't think it needs to be defined, but it can be thought of as helpful to explicitly state a value in the example even if that value is in fact the default, so a new user doesn't have to wonder what the value is on those field types. After we verify that it is in fact unnecessary, I think you'd probably agree that it would be more useful to add something to the comments in schema.xml about what the default increment is, rather than explicitly include it in the example definitions where it's not necessary. My production schema probably includes the unnecessary parameter, but I haven't looked at it for a while. Thanks, Shawn
