It's ambiguous, highlighted by this case. dControlItem Values can be any
type, including strings, so saying Value="1" in the xml is ambiguous: is
it meant to be a string or an int?
I think I expected that if it were a string, it would show in the xml as:
Value=""1""
and if it were an int, as:
Value="1"
But seeing the other properties like:
Caption="Label"
left me confused about it.
What about distinguishing between a string of "None" and a NoneType
instance?
