In many cases, if a user is using one cross section set, e.g. ENDF/B-VII, they will likely be using the same cross section on many different nuclide, in that case 70c. It would be convenient to have a default cross section tag that would be applied to any nuclide that doesn't have a cross section listed:
<default_xs>70c</default_xs>
<material id="1">
<density value="1.0" units="g/cc" />
<nuclide name="H-1" ao="2.0" />
<nuclide name="O-16" ao="1.0" />
</material>
