Title: Inherit default tick style from `matplotlib.rcParams`

Note that Matplotlib's defaults dictionary contains default settings only for `xtick.*` and `ytick.*`. Because there is not a fixed mapping between WCS axes and Matplotlib `x` and `y` axes, the best we can do is arbitrarily pick one axis from which to inherit defaults. This is explained in the docstring.
