That would make it differ from every other dialogue box in the known Universe, is one thing.

It's perfectly normal to have dialogs without a default button. At least on the Mac.

It's also in line with the HIG:

Chapter 14 - Dialog Behaviour - The Default Button

"Dont use a default button if the most likely action is dangerousfor example, if it causes a loss of user data. When there is no default button, pressing Return or Enter has no effect; the user must explicitly click a button. This guideline protects users from accidentally damaging their work by pressing Return or Enter. You can consider using a safe default button, such as Cancel."


bye. Andreas.
