Regarding the default selection, allow me to add some background just in case this helps discussions.

Traditional documents usually use "strict" even today, and since JLREQ[1]'s goal is to document traditional typesetting, it recommends "strict" as default.

However, casual documents tend to prefer "normal" today. MS Word defaults to similar setting as "normal," IE and Firefox as well. There was a discussion in Japan to change JLREQ's default to "normal," but we concluded that JLREQ should follow tradition given its goal.

Making normal as default has another benefit for small screen because strict rule will cause more justification. Less justifications are usually considered better.

I prefer making normal as default for Web for reasons above, and allowing author to select would be great for e-book publishers.
