Well, the truth about those missing values is more along the profane 
Microsoft lines: They have been reserved for /some/ other fancy mappings 
since so long ago - without ever actually being implemented - that even 
the memory of /what/ mappings those were supposed to be is lost in the 
absorbing and scattering media of time.
