Anyone have an answer to why RDA requires you to enter "[date of publication not identified]" instead of just leaving the data element blank?

Just leaving it blank seems more efficient for the cataloger AND easier for software to deal with (not having to know that the magic string "[date of publication not identified]" really means no date is present; not having to know the magic string in every possible language a cataloger might enter it.)
