The "with-defaults" parameter does not apply when interacting with an operational datastore. There is no explanation of why the with-defaults parameter does not apply to <operational>. This is confusing. The solution that has been a standard for years still applies to all datastores, except a completely different mechanism (origin-filter) is used instead for 1 datastore. If the server code can identify a default so it can be tagged origin=or:default, then it can also support with-defaults. I prefer the sentence above be changed, so that a server MAY implement with-defaults for <operational>. If the client sends <with-defaults> it should be OK to honor it instead of returning an error.
