For me, having del call close() does not qualify as a reasonable default implementation unless close() is required to be idempotent (which one could deduce from the documentation if one tries to, but it's far from clear).
close() should indeed be idempotent on all bundled IO class implementations (otherwise it's a bug), and so should it preferably on third-party IO class implementations.
If you want to improve the documentation on this, you're welcome to provide a patch!

Antoine.
