If this is the case, then we need a statement in the spec
that says the target MUST support all defaults that are defined
in Appendix C, as it might not be given an opportunity to
change the defaults.

Are you sure this is how we want to proceed?  Wouldn't it be
wise to support targets that need to change the defaults?
For example, what of an iSCSI proxy target on an iSCSI-FC
gateway that wants to use 16-bit task tags?
