I'm wondering who that's going to confuse. It's very clear that the template language isn't Python, so I'd think it'd make the most sense to use a keyword that makes sense within the context of the template language. I'd think that either 'else' or 'ifnone' are the most memorable/readable. 'default' connotes "unless we override ...", which isn't what's going on here.
