Indeed. Some alternative names proposed on #scheme:
5:16:59 <twb> The value that is not dead which can eternal lie.
05:17:24 <twb> The value that shall not be named.
05:17:33 <arcus> absurdity? :] \
05:17:37 <twb> The elder value.
05:17:37 <mbishop> hah that's what I was thinking twb
05:18:20 <astecp> NaV
I had proposed "the content-free value" earlier; I would also propose
"the useless value".
Summary: Editors, "the unspecified value" won't fly. Pick something
else and insist on it.

It's the old, old story. Droid meets droid. Droid becomes chameleon.
Droid loses chameleon, chameleon becomes blob, droid gets blob back
again. It's a classic tale. --Kryten, Red Dwarf
