The internal values aren't shown in any UI and we shouldn't force the UI 
to be driven by underlying logical differences like (0, 1) vs. (null, 
1). The point is, the UI could be any of:

Clean URLs:
(o) Disabled
( ) Enabled
This option makes Drupal emit "clean" URLs (i.e. without ?q= in the URL.)

or

[ ] Enable clean URLs
This option makes Drupal emit "clean" URLs (i.e. without ?q= in the URL.)

or

URL style:
(o) http://example.com/?q=admin/settings/clean-urls
( ) http://example.com/admin/settings/clean-urls
