I think that all what needs to be said has been said.

In addition Sebastian Makowiecki commented very well in
<F568BDC5-0E44-4BF8-875A-F14F5334E529 AT mailbox.org>.

However I would recommend against things like "null" or "void" as they
could suggest (to some who is not a native speaker of the english
language) that they are not counted and included in the result
calculation.

With best regards,
