Agreed. I think that the noise of changing all existing attributes to have the marker would far outweigh the cleanliness of being consistent. I was thinking of adding BKI_FORCENOTNULL which would be specified on the attributes you want it. The FORCE in there representing that the default choice is overwritten. On a first glance that doesn't look too hard.
