How do I specify "use the default" from the MCC side? Say the node
entity has an attribute Foo. I've tried things like:
mcc> set node skigod foo
mcc> set node skigod foo=
mcc> set node skigod foo=default
all to no avail.

MCC> show node haylof bra lib serv bra lib foo Cartname High Water Mark
Node LOCAL_NS:.haylof Branch Library Server Branch Library LOCAL_NS:.foo

Cartname High Water Mark = 4000
MCC> set node haylof bra lib serv bra lib foo Cartname High Water Mark
Node LOCAL_NS:.haylof Branch Library Server Branch Library LOCAL_NS:.foo

C'mon Dave.
This isn't what we're asking. Re-read .0.
What good is this feature if no one's sure it even gets out on the wire?

The 1.3 interface, and the 1.2 interface support setting defaults just fine.
Select the object (e.g. click on it once), select the operations menu,
the set function, the characteristics sub function,
Get a list ot attributes, an select one that has a default value.
Use MB3 to get the selection menu, and select the "use default" option.
If the AM deals with this correctly is another matter, but in any case, it
can be entered from the user interface.

.0 is a bug in the node AM. The PM is passing down a "use default"
to the AM. The AM mustn't be correctly translating it, or the node
itself is having a problem with it.
Each AM handles the "use default" (defined in the SRM as IMPLEMENTATION
SPECIFIC DEFAULT) according to what their device can handle. Some
AMs try to pass the command to set the default directly to the device
while others translate it into a real value before sending the set
to the device. I am uncertain what NODE is doing, but it isn't
working and this needs to be qared.
