If there would be a "default" module that gets automatically loaded if
no other module is used / configured, then both of these wished would be
full filled.

So my point was that the current way of compressing things i.e., the
"default" would be used if no other compression method is
found/configured (I probably expressed myself poorly in my previous
mail ;)
I am fine if the "default" being a module, as long as it is
automatically loaded. From the end user point of view, he/she should not
configure or do any magic in order to use 6lowpan.
