We looked at that. It's all software, so anything is possible, but the current structure of the idmap processing doesn't lend itself to providing such a default. The "well-known name" processing either doesn't yield a UID, or yields a UID that is used regardless of any other processing. There's no simple way to have it produce a default that can be overridden. That's an implementation detail, of course, and so if the ARC wants it to default to nobody we'll make it happen.
