You are probably right -- my thought was that the minor mode exists for
the sake of the map.

That's the question: should windmove-default-map be accessed by default
or only via the -default-keybindings functions? Either way something
should be changed, if windmove-default-map it should be renamed to
windmove--default-map to explicitly mark it as an internal
map. Otherwise it should be renamed to windmove-mode-map as you suggest.
