We are talking past eachother.

If a default qdisc like HTB is choosen, we invoke the ->init() function
and we change the HTB ->init() function to do something reasonable
if a NULL set of configuration attributes is given.  ie. make HTB use
some defaults.

Please explain to me why this won't fix the problem.
