Forgive me if this has already been requested.

I wish there was a way to set the default terrain height in areas
where it is not explicitly set.

This could be done by just having the browser subtract a constant from
all the altitudes that come back from the current algorithm.

This would allow us the get rid of the Z-Fighting that occurs way off in
the distance under various scenarios.

It has been but it is a good idea, another idea would be default terrain
texture

Actually, there are two such ideas which have been discussed and both are worth repeating, in my opinion. First, a default terrain height would allow the height of "undefined terrain" to be set. Second, a "terrain height offset" is what you seem to be talking about, which would be added to the altitude of existing terrain before rendering.
