Well documentation also needs to be read, not only written:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Simple-configuration.html#Simple-configuration:
"The default menu entry.  This may be a number, in which case it identifies
the Nth entry in the generated menu counted from zero, or the full name of a
menu entry, or the special string @samp{saved}.  Using the full name may be
useful if you want to set a menu entry as the default even though there may
be a variable number of entries before it.
"
