No. Having no default is not acceptable for registration people. It
cause us to send many many mails to remember people to set something
sensible. We ping them in IRC, we lost communications [timezones], we
have bounced mails [so do we need to cancel entire registrations?], etc.
[pentabarf had empty fields as default, so this is a real concern]
So let's us [registration] to think that the fields are properly filled,
and worrying about all other registration stuffs. [/me cannot ignore a
wrong form]
