If you are using:
<attribute name="bgcolor1" type="color" value="null" />
you'll get:
constraint_when.lzx:5:64: *invalid color: null*
Somehow obvious, because "bgcolor1" is of type "color" and there is no
color named "null".
[cc-ing laszlo-dev to share these oral traditions]
`value="$x{y}"` is shorthand for `value="x" when="y"`, so I would say
the doc tool needs to know how to parse both.
OTOH `$immediately{null}` is exactly the same as `null`; i.e., the
default value for `when` is immediately.
Oh and, `${y}` is shorthand for `$always{y}`, because that is the most
common reason for a when other than immediately.
The simple work-around for now would appear to be to remove the
(useles) constraint from the source.
