From a brief look at the source for 3.6, the defaults listed in the
documentation are correct for versions earlier than 3.5 (except perhaps
that the default aa_level appears to be 3, not 4). This includes a media
method of 1 (hence the default intervals of 10).

Some of these values are then altered immediately during parsing for
versions 3.5 and later. It looks like the properties that change are:

method 3
intervals 1
samples 10,10

It's easily possible that these or other parameters change later on in the
code, I haven't looked very thoroughly, but I don't think they can be
serious differences based on simple test renders.
