The sticky options may help with typing in a short interactive session, but generally they are bad idea (in my opinion). E.g. you may have set some options at the beginning of the session and later you want some different options. Since you may have forgotten which options you did modify the only sure way to get the desired options is to set terminal with _all_ options explicitly specified. What making thing worse is that "default" keyword apparently does not set all options to the default state but only some. Those problems become especially painful, when gnuplot is driven by an external program (e.g. octave). See this thread for one example: http://www.octave.org/octave-lists/archive/help-octave.2005/msg03471.html
You can reset "set" commands to the default values by the "reset" command. This works for all except for the "set terminal" command. There, a command like "set terminal reset" would be required (for the current terminal) or "reset terminals" (to reset all terminals). You are welcome to implement this feature.
IMHO, these permanent options are a good idea even for interactive driving: for example, you can set terminals to "enhanced" mode in your .gnuplot file and don't need to do this in the driving program.
