That's just not true. (It might be true for the fields used by default, but even then that fact is unimportant.) It is not true generally. Anyone can program new bookmark types, with any data whatsoever in their records. What the meaning/behavior of a nil field value might be is determined only by the code that creates and uses such a bookmark.
