  I fully agree. The use of the word "unknown" in the UI was a mistake that 
stuck. The intention was always to mean "unspecified" without any epistemic 
connotation. That is: an unspecified value only makes a positive statement 
("there is a value for this property") and no negative one ("we [who exactly?] 
do not know this value").
