Might be a stupid question but: Does this method returns true if
CONTENT_SETTING_DEFAULT can be provided? Or if a default setting value can be
provided.

+
+  // Returns the default content setting this provider has for the given
+  // |content_type|, or CONTENT_SETTING_DEFAULT if nothing be provided for this
+  // type.
+  virtual ContentSetting ProvideDefaultSetting(
+      ContentSettingsType content_type) = 0;
+
+  // Notifies the provider that the host content settings map would like to
+  // update the default setting for the given |content_type|. The provider may
+  // ignore this.
+  virtual void UpdateDefaultSetting(ContentSettingsType content_type,
+                                    ContentSetting setting) = 0;
+
+  // True if the default setting for the |content_type| is policy managed, i.e.,
+  // there shouldn't be any UI shown to modify this setting.
+  virtual bool DefaultSettingIsManaged(ContentSettingsType content_type) = 0;
+

What about the non default content settings aka exceptions?

+ protected:
+  virtual ~ContentSettingsProviderInterface() {};
+};
