In any case, I've come up with an experimental version of ido-ubiquitous
based on the idea of "empty string is the default default". It's currently
on the empty-string branch:
https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/ido-ubiquitous/tree/empty-string

Here's the relevant code:
https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/ido-ubiquitous/blob/083479a3075eaf35711a53cef2d90d3fdf9213a1/ido-completing-read%2B.el#L88-L111
 and
https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/ido-ubiquitous/blob/083479a3075eaf35711a53cef2d90d3fdf9213a1/ido-completing-read%2B.el#L266-L286

I'll be testing this out to see if it works acceptably well in all cases.
Comments welcome.
