I am wondering what (if any) way there is to get a concise list of all defaults currently configured on a system?
This post suggests that they are configured by application, which I get, and it has some good suggestions about how to get a list, for instance:
defaults read
will produce a decent list of configurations, but it's a bit cumbersome. As well, I'm not sure that's what I'm looking for, or if it's just a bunch of reference information. I couldn't find some corresponding defaults in there that I know I set.
Anyhow, say hypothetically you only care about out of the box defaults that would be on most systems, is there a way to produce a list of them and their corresponding values?

There is/was an preference pane which documented a lot of these called Screts by Blacktree, no idea where that little gem has gone, but was live last week, so maybe it is just down right now...
Anyway... the Google Code page has info about finding them...
