The first sentence does not say that the value _must_ be non-NULL. The
second sentence says that tags have a NULL value but does not explicitly
disallow NULL values in non-tag properties (which is how it seems you are
interpreting it?). To me the docs sound correct, but maybe one of the
mega-brains can sort it out for us.
