This is exactly the issue which led to the decision to define defaults outside
of the schema. Thus, an implementor can look up in the spec what defaults for a
property her application should use if the information is not obtainable from
the ODF document.
Furthermore, we said that we wanted to provide the final defaults in the form of
ODF XML fragments so that an implementor can re-use those in an application as a
starting point.

I don't think that this is a problem, given the goals stated above. Furthermore,
I am not aware of such a combination - which doesn't mean that they don't exist.
I'd be thankful for an example here.
Bests,
