I'm sure he's tried that and it didn't answer his question; the
Defaults Database usually only contains "non-default defaults."
He wants ALL possible defaults.  Rudimentary reverse engineering
on 1.0a comes up with:

Workspace
  Documented in SysRefMan/10_Support.wn:
    ApplicationPaths
    BrowserColWidth
    BrowserH
    BrowserW
    BrowserX
    BrowserY
    CoreLimit
    IconsSnapTo
    LaunchThese
  
  Documented in SysAdmin/ApA_BootSequence.wn:
    LoginProgram
  
  Documented in NextAnswers:
    Expert
  
  Undocumented:
    Debug
    DoTimings
    Pause
    Preferences
  
  System (rather than Workspace) defaults:
    Umask
    UnixExpert
  
Edit
  Documented in SysRefMan/18_Tools.wn:
    DeleteBackup
    HeightInChars
    IndentWidth
    NXFont
    NXFontSize
    RTF
    Tags
    WidthInChars

  Not documented, but settable in Preferences:
    AutoIndent
    TabWidth
  
  Undocumented (controls defaults for Page Layout Panel):
    Orientation
    PagesPerSheet
