[drmaa-wg] Boolean string values in c spec

Got another question...
In the C spec 1.0, the two boolean-valued attributes,
drmaa_join_files and drmaa_block_email, have different string values
for true and false. drmaa_join_files says to use 'y' or 'n';
drmaa_block_email says '1' or '0'.
Should I follow this to the letter as an implementor of the 1.0 C spec?
The Java and IDL specs use actual boolean values rather than strings;
will a later version of the C spec begin supporting non-string
attribute values? If not, will these be made consistent?
Thanks,
Ed
