The whole key/value notation is new (and local to the NetBSD version
of inetd), isn't it?

So there is not much compat or historic behaviour to follow here - or am
I overlooking something?

I would support resetting the defaults on error and maybe even at the
start of a new file (but that is debatable, in other config formats that
kind of inheritance gives rope for nice admin tricks).
