I recall a time when all 9's for values was more common than high-values or nulls or using only accurate values, but I thought that time was 20-30 years ago. Some traditions live on. I particularly like it when then all 8's has another meaning and all 7's yet another. You gotta love strong typing -- it gives us something to work around, eh?
