Actually, you just need to bold the part about 1.26 being required, so that idiots like me will see it. I'll try again after 1.26 comes out.

I have gone back and forth on this for weeks. My problem always comes down to the meaning of "No". If the label is "Read", then "No" carries the strong semantics of "Not Read". However, books with the empty mark are also almost certainly "Not Read" as well. In this case, what is the meaning of the two? By using the label "Marked Read", the meaning of "No" changes to "It hasn't been marked", which makes it easier to apply one's own semantics to it. |
I love the amount of thought you put into everything.
Here's what I think. I imagine that for most people, for most of the time the value of the field is going to be blank or yes. For those people, a label of "Read" is more appropriate. People who also want to use the "No" value (for example, for "currently reading") "Read" won't make sense, but neither will "Marked read". So, I vote you go with "Read". I know your vote is the only one that counts, but I'm giving mine anyhow.
