To me the spirit of that is its not required to have running services to properly configure things. And to me part of properly configuring things is seeing what the current values are, so I can decide whether those values are appropriate. That includes values that are defaulted. If I have to have a running JBossWeb to know that when I start a server it's going to listen for HTTP requests on port 8080, we're doing something wrong.
OK I've been thinking in terms of "configuration is a write operation, monitoring is a read operation", but that is, I guess, too limited of a view.
Let's continue the discussion of defaults in Alexey's new thread: http://community.jboss.org/message/546290#546290
