For strings and especially enums you'd either have a defined value as default (which could be "default" or some such) or you'd use the empty string as the default (like XMLHttpRequest). Also, I don't think nulling things is the common idiom. Typical defaults for a list would be the empty list, 0 for a number, given that enums are strings, ... -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
