I don't think it's weird to *have* a default document like this.  I
think making user specify it manually each time would be annoying and
wouldn't match what you'd expect from a web server.

However, it's defiantly a good idea to allow users to configure it.
I'd be in favor of having some sensible defaults - namely index.html &
default.html (the defaults on apache & IIS) and allowing these to
added to configuration.  This would be in line with what I would
expect from web servers.

Thoughts?
