The FAQ explains that one could (in theory) write a schema in which default values aren't valid under their own schema, and then goes on to present some example code that would allow such a use-case.
Fair enough, but I think most users would rather have an example that actually does validate the defaults. Plus, if the default values are added to the instance before validation, then entire objects can be provided with default contents, even if the object was missing from the instance entirely. (The updated FAQ text in this PR provides an example.)
