And maybe the default object could be a cube? Or at least a plane that is
rotated to face the camera? Otherwise the plane would be invisible even if
it was lit since it begins lying flat. Or the camera could be rotated to
face down a bit so that the plane is visible.
This wouldn't even be necesary if the camera is moved up one Blender unit, because if it is, you will see the plane

In 3D studio max, it begins with nothing at all (no lights, etc) and if you
render it with no lights, it automatically lights up the scene nicely.
Yeah, but I think just adding a real light in the default .blend would be faster, easier to implemet and less confusing for everyone. The fact that Max lights up the scene when there are no lights is a bit stupid. Blender really should include a lamp when you open it up, and the camera should be moved up so that you could see the plane when you render.
