Having a flag for each seems like way overkill to me. No point in complicating
the API for such a trivial feature. The only reason I can think of to turn them
off would be to save bytes, in which case you'd turn them all off. They have no
impact on the meaning of the document.

True, but automatically turning them on seems too clever to me. It's a lot
easier to just turn both on, than to try to remember which setting
automatically turns on the other one.
