Original issue MVC_SPEC-67 created by Christian Kaltepoth:
Currently CsrfOptions.OFF is the default. This is confusing because adding @CsrfValid to controller methods simply doesn't work without setting CsrfOptions.EXPLICIT in the global configuration.
Instead CsrfOptions.EXPLICIT should be the default. This way adding @CsrfValid will work immediately and people can still completely disable CSRF protection if they want by setting it to CsrfOptions.OFF.
