please read it up in the documentation... (APS == access point sector)

if you don't define it, it has a default value (which should be
documented in the manual...)

the use of multi-default and default tag is mutually exclusive...

With a multi-default selection list you can allow the viewer to press a
button (i.e. the 'default' button) and jump to an appropriate menu or
other pbc-item/list, depending on how far through the video playback has
reached;

i.e. imagine a shopping video, where the underlying sequence item shows
various products, and asks the user to press the 'default' button,
whenever he wants to know more details about the current item... 
(instead of having to press a specific number, as for numeric based
selection lists)

the entry points are needed to define, where each new product starts
being shown, as the sequence is continuous...

hope this makes it clearer...
