The proposal remains then that this file should contain something 
reminiscent of OMNI as that is a reflection of the goals of MIDI. As you 
state, this is stuff that a novice does not want to know about and as such 
the system per default should do exactly what a novice wants: a connection.

The content for any other user who is savvy of their applications should be 
whatever they want to put in there, but why are we expecting the novice to 
have to be faced with this very stuff that you admit should not be their 
business - simply because the default _forces_ them to be confronted with 
it? If you think the novice should not be faced with these details then the 
default should provide for that which the novice needs.
