  Great, looks nice!

  Good question.  Bolding the value emphasizes "what we typed
down" so could seems more natural, while bolding the name
emphasizes on the semantics of the attributes.  So I would say
the later.  But really, both seems equally usable.

  An alternative (sorry, I know you asked for an answer, not a
question :-p) would be to bold both, or just write them in the
normal font while putting name and value of defaults in gray.
This is maybe more intuitive: what we typed is "normal," while
defaults are given less visual importance (the info is there,
but more light.)

  Hope that helps,
