That's the intended behavior.  If it worked differently you wouldn't
be able to tell the difference between a parameter already set and a
parameter with a default.  For some applications the difference is
signficant.  Also, being able to read the default value back from the
template would certainly be abused as a mechanism to allow the
template to pass data back into Perl, which is contrary to the
philosophy of HTML::Template.  

However, that said, I should probably mention this in the param()
documentation.
