Default is venting your dryer to the house O.K in winter?

Only if you were using the dryer all the time. The usual intermitant
use of a home dryer would produce an amount of moisture that would be
quickly absorbed by the rest of the house, just like when someone
takes a shower without a bathroom vent.

But I would say that the main problem with indoor dryer venting is
that it is next to impossible to filter out the lint. Even the
commercial devices designed to do this are inadequate. Lint
accumulation can be anything from a nuisance to a fire hazard.
