Matthew,

I completely agree that the default should be "no"!  I pointed this
out sometime ago myself.  Apart from what you point out, the default
setting for "ImmediateData" seems to be at variance with the
conservative default for "InitialR2T" ("yes").

Julian, could you please consider this request?

Regards.
