I am happy with #b as well, though I prefer #c. I also agree with C. Scott's interpretation of #c, to mean, appropriate degenerate value, which is generally the zero value, but is plausibly NaN for Date.
Whichever experiment Nightly tries first with a positive outcome, I expect that's what we'll do, since the difference between #b and #c is not large enough to be worth waiting for a second experiment.
