17224	determine and document the use of default option in context of FileField	Preston Holmes	nobody	"Currently the 'default' option in the definition of a ""FileField"" just gets passed on to Field where it is just stored in the database as a raw string.

There are several other potentially viable things FileField could do, including checking to see if it is a valid path to a file, and then copy that to ""upload_to"" and make that the field's contents.

Either way, whatever is the ""proper"" action for default, even if it remains unchanged, it should be documented in the FileField docs.
