These two seem like the best contenders.

The choice comes down to whether we should:

1) Be like most other dbms's (e.g. Oracle, Firebird) + follow the spec.
2) Minimize psql behavior changes for current postgresql users.

Personally I favor 1), so would prefer:

enable it by default only for interactive sessions, like AUTOCOMMIT
