Not really.  If you want to override (non-final) default configuration
settings, the .xcd file should go into an extension (and thus be installed into
a higher configuration layer than the bottom one,
xcsxcu:${BRAND_BASE_DIR}/share/registry, see the CONFIGURATION_LAYERS bootstrap
variable in the fundamental ini file).

The default values for those various ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter props are
spread across multiple instdir/share/registry/*.xcd files.  In which order
those files from one configuration layer are processed is unspecified, and what
happens if there are two conflicting settings for a given prop in a single
configuration layer is unspecified too.
