Does it make sense to use some special value (zero or -1) to mean
uninitialized? That way could at least preserve the type.
But the special value is invalid for keyboard configurations. If it is
set in keyboard properties, users may get confused. So I prefer 'null'
to mean uninitialized. Thanks.
This is a valid point. However, if I understood correctly, these are values set in the SMF manifest. You can have comments in the manifest explaining the uninitialized value. Moreover, you can leverage SMF templates to validate the values, but if you use astring, you cannot validate ranges.

I don't understand why a missing value in the SMF repository can not be inferred as uninitialized. Could you please elaborate that?
