Perhaps a better approach might be to set the product and vendor to some specific string if the device says it isn't providing one? In the new model, can't we still have the chance of showing garbage if the device really isn't setting anything useful? So what if we show "Unknown" and "Unknown" or something similar in the event that the device sets the 'invalid' bit?
