Yes, I found that out later. It's a bit hard to wrap one's head around 
this slightly unusual concept: A default value that should not be used 
at all. If it's still there, something random should be used instead.
But this not-be-used value can be changed into another not-to-be-used 
value in a localized version... I've never run into that before.

(I know, it's actually a placeholder, not a default... but still 
confusing...)
