On some places, metadata values are interpreted as a truth value.

Every character sequence that begins with a &ldquo;0&rdquo;, &ldquo;F&rdquo;, &ldquo;N&rdquo;, &ldquo;f&rdquo;, or a &ldquo;n&rdquo; is interpreted as the boolean &ldquo;false&rdquo; value.
All other values are interpreted as the boolean &ldquo;true&rdquo; value.

However, there is no full support for a boolean type.
Such values are interpreted as a [string value](00001006033500), e.g. with respect to comparing and sorting.
