Proposal:

Proposal:
Absence of nullable facet on collection means it's unknown if you can insert nulls. You can try, but it may fail.
Nullable=true means that the collection may contain null values (although attempting to insert a null value may still fail for a variety of reasons)
Nullable=false means that the collection can not contain null values

We missed to spell out the default value for the Nullable facet. For single valued properties we defined the default value as true.
