I think if anything, enable by default and publish in the docs how to disable if desired.

That is a good idea about the documentation.
Did you try the fix and did it work for you?

I'm going to suggest it goes the other direction, disabled by default, but options to turn it on..

Here's my reasoning behind this.. NRDS get installed on clients, and in theory, with a mis-configuration you could fill a client disk with the generated XML, causing catastrophe. Therefore, you should have to deliberately turn the feature on.
