Note: I also feel this way about access levels, which work this way except for public… I believe they should work the same way for public too (while keeping internal as the default level for top-level structures).

afaics, I completely agree with your whole message, but this one is worth to be emphasized:
The effect of "public" should be propagated in the same way as "open"; I don't think there is any good reason to have two different models for similar concepts.

I think it would be even better to extend propagation up to module-level, and let the author decide what access levels are right for him — but that's most likely way beyond the willingness for compromise.
