> I already noticed several times it would be useful to be able to specify a default properties for a resource:
> * if the resource itself contains the property, it will override the default one.
> * but if it doesn't, the default value is used.
> This could be done either via:
> * specifying a {{sling:defaults}} property on the resource, which contains the path to the resource which properties will be used by default.
> * providing a default map of properties
> Attaching a patch for review.
> For testing purpose, I put it under {{org.apache.sling.defaults}}, but I imagine it could go to {{org.apache.sling.api.resource}}.
