I personally am being consistent in using "(default)" at the end of  
variant descriptions, when there are a group of conflicting variants  
(e.g. radio buttons). That is, if I remember to put anything at all,  
that's what I put. I may have forgotten to put it in some of my  
ports. I agree it would be better if MacPorts base would figure this  
out and mark it for us. Then I could remove this from the portfiles.
