The yes/no question may be the most trivial of cases but generally we are reluctant to force a structure onto our mappers. When choosing between something that restricts our mappers and something that makes life more difficult for our users, we always choose the second because mappers are more precious than users. Granted, there's not much creativity or personal style involved in choosing between yes/no and true/false so mappers would probably not object to that; but in general the idea "let's have a rigid structure so that life becomes easier for our users" is not what we want.
