For those who know how to decode it, yes.  For others, not really.

I see, so you need to explain this in the changelog.

And IMV the code logic should be:

(1) If this is a NULL register, don't use it.
(2) If it is integer 0, check if it is optional.
    (a) If it is optional, don't use it.
    (b) Otherwise, use 0 as the value.

Of course, there is a problem for platforms that may want to pass 0 as
an optional field value, but this is a spec issue.
