..and now, I'm finally beginning to see the reasoning that led Oracle
to conflate NULL and empty string.
Seems like a situation for ‘n/a’ though maybe that’s too English-centric...
I’m a bit uncertain about the mix of name and number in something that purports to be a version and thus should be numeric only. SSLv3 and TLSv2 would not be comparable in terms of min/max...but I haven’t delved deeply into the feature either.
