I think it's standard to have an element like that. It could be UNKNOWN, NULL,
INVALID, or even DEFAULT.
For example, you could have code like this:
if (format == DISPLAY_FORMAT_DEFAULT)
format = DISPLAY_FORMAT_FULL;
This would distinguish cases in which the user did not specify a display format
and we choose a default, from those where the user explicitely chose the format
that happens to be the default.
