IMHO I think the default configuration should _just work_.
If the default configuration does not _just work_ then it should
be modified and fixed until it _just works_.

this means that a default-configuration origin should work
sufficiently to talk to a default-configuration target. This means
that it should definitely be sending a valid affiliation (which
is a scoped attribute, no?)
