The user expectation here is that marking a commodity as “default”
makes it the default commodity that implicitly applies to postings
that don’t specify a commodity. This is not an unreasonable idea to
arrive at, given that the documentation on ‘commodity’ only says:
The ‘default’ sub-directive marks this as the “default” commodity.
without defining what a “default commodity” is. Later in the
documentation, where the ‘D’ directive is described, there is a more
complete description of the default commodity, but there is no way for
a user to discover that when reading the entry for ‘commodity’.
I suggest adding a cross-reference from ‘commodity→default’ to ‘D’, or
possibly duplicating the definition in ‘commodity→default’.
