[presentation-api] "setting presentation.defaultRequest will have no effect" note is ambiguous

tidoust has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/presentation-api:

== "setting presentation.defaultRequest will have no effect" note is 
ambiguous ==
See related discussion between @schien and @tomoyukilabs on Web 
Platform Tests repository: 
https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/issues/3844

In particular, @schien notes that:

> However, in the second note it says "setting 
presentation.defaultRequest" should take no effect. I take this 
sentence as "assigning value to defaultRequest will be no-op", which 
means presentation.defaultRequest will still be null after the 
assignment. That's my interpretation.

To which @tomoyukilabs replies:

> I'm afraid that the spec might look ambiguous. I regard it as 
"Although the defaultRequest property can be set to any instance of 
PresentationRequest or null, browsers which do not support 
defaultRequest will never refer to its value unless a script accesses 
it directly".

I would read the spec as @tomoyukilabs. Regardless of who is correct, 
it seems a good idea to clarify the expected behavior!
