[ensembl-dev] beta REST api, homoly/id/ default value for the aligned param

Referring to the GET homology/id/:id endpoint of the beta REST api
(doc here: 
http://beta.rest.ensembl.org/documentation/info/homology_ensemblgene)

the aligned parameter default value is listed as "False" in the 
documentation, and yet it seems to be set as True.

The following queries:

http://beta.rest.ensembl.org/homology/id/ENSG00000157764?content-type=application/json
http://beta.rest.ensembl.org/homology/id/ENSG00000157764?content-type=application/json;aligned=1

return the same exact response, at 231kB. The following:

http://beta.rest.ensembl.org/homology/id/ENSG00000157764?content-type=application/json;aligned=0

returns non-aligned sequences for a total response size of 198kB.

Am I missing something?

Alberto
