I'm not sure how people, that are looking for Default, will react :-)

But then again, when a document uses a style that is not used in the 
default list, it is added.
So me would expect having Default Style not in the hard coded list, and 
then opening a new document with Default Style ... it is simply shown in 
Select Styles :-)

Looks very nice :-) which in itself is important.
I have no idea how people will use it however.
Maybe it lowers the step to start using styles?
