Aye, it occurs to me now that introducing the implicit form trades a "write
time" lookup (where you have to override the converter defaults
explicitly), for a "read time" lookup (where you need to mentally add the
defaults to understand the modified accept clause)

As a result, I think "explicit is better than implicit" wins, at least for
now. If we decide after we have more experience that the repetition of the
defaults when overriding them really is a problem, then it's possible to
revisit that decision in the 3.6 time frame.
