I agree; the default value should be used here. The reference you want is:

http://www.adaic.com/standards/05rm/html/RM-4-3-1.html

for record aggregates, and

http://www.adaic.com/standards/05rm/html/RM-4-3-3.html

for array aggregates. (Keep in mind that this "consolidated" RM is an
unofficial construction, and if it has any differences with the Amendment
document, the Amendment has the correct language. But the Amendment is
pretty hard to make sense of, as it is just a list of changed paragraphs.
Thank Ada Europe for sponsoring the development of the "consolidated" RM.)
