[cvs] Expresso commit by lhamel: Instead of calling it an error if there is

[JCorporate Ltd]

Log Message:
-----------
Instead of calling it an error if there is no parameter value for a field that has a default value, DefaultAutoElement.parseBlocks() now sets the field to the default value. This is especially useful for RegisterUser, which insists on values for Industry and Employees.
