Great approach. User agent default style sheets are the worst, especially since they are all different.

But, instead of handing the user a empty slate with nothing, it should contain a note saying “look, these are the recommended options”. If the initial config is interactive, it could even prompt to activate them: “want to use compression?” - “yes”, etc.

Those recommendations are in the documentation.

Interactive configuration is easier said than done. We don't realistically have the time to build and maintain that on top of the core program and config. We're already stretched pretty thin.
