Ummm, I think you missed the point of my latest/revised complaint. Default currently isn't formatted.

That is to say, Bananas  doesn't produce Bananas. At the moment, default is unformatted.

In other words: the current system already formats default differently, by default, because it currently doesn't format the default (meaning editors have to manually duplicate formatting into the default field).

The fact that content-specific formatting is already possible and that I'm using it is beside the point of this complaint. However, the fact that default isn't formatted is causing my issue. What I basically want is all my fields to have Coloured Square Formatting (and I'm committing a faux pas of having different colors depending on the content, naughty me) - but, at the moment, default isn't formatted! And me putting the formatting into the default field is considered a default value.
