default collation is choosen at installation process - so imo it could be CS_AS.You can override the installation defaults when doing the installation. Then you don't have a default installation any more, you have a non-default one. So the word "default" is a bit ambiguous - the server default in your instance is not the installation default.
However, I think you are right to suggest that the collation should always be specified in a QotD when it is relevant.
I think I've seen in the discussions of previous questions that where something isn't specified it's reasonable to assume the system has been set up with installation defaults. That's the way I read this and, from a previous QotD, I know the installation default is case insensitive so I got this right.
However, there are an awful lot of installation defaults that I don't know so I agree it would useful to have anything that applies to a QotD to be stated positively at the start.
