As far as I can tell _default_ was not treated differently from * in 2.2
either. Do you have any results that imply the references to _default_
shouldn't just be removed from those topics?

Well, in 2.2 the <VirtualHost> docs say:
> "The string _default_, which is used only with IP virtual hosting to catch unmatched IP addresses."

So this seems a difference to me, but I have never actively used it so I cannot
vouch for it.

But yes, I think the references to _default_ can be removed from the
documentation. I tried all kinds of combinations and it doesn't seem to have
any special meaning, and a look through the source code also only reveals that
it is an alias of "*" (line 190 of vhost.c)
