[TYPO3-english] TemplaVoila Default Values / Slide for normal and image fields

Greetings all!
I have a site which does a very typical "different header image on
different pages" thing, and figured an easy enough way to manage this
would be to make a mapping to the header image inside TV to allow the
site administrator to set different heading images for different
pages. The problem is that on large sites, they might not rememeber or
might want it to either slide to the parent's image, or revert to a
sitewide default.

Some googling turned up some conflicting responses on the matter, one
saying that one should refer to the <default> tag for FCE
configuration, the other asking a developer in a similar situation if
he could see the <default> tag in the docs. I too could not see it

http://www.typo3-jack.net/typo3-project-templavoila-lists-netfielders-de/5841-typo3-templavoila-default-element-field-value.html
 (Use <default>)

http://www.mail-archive.com/typo3-english@lists.netfielders.de/msg22930.html
 (Implies there is no such thing as <default> )

Does anyone know precisely how to solve this? Is creating a mapping
even the best way to solve the problem or is there perhaps some better
way?  I can see great use for being able to stipulate defaults and
slides for TV elements, but am a little stuck. Semantically it would
be best to then use this image as the background image in the CSS,
though how to go about that is beyond me, so one small step at a time
for now!

Kindest regards,
Denyer
