It's normal behavour for all controls that don't contain any value to  
not be sent, even input fields. So don't expect the browsers to send  
any blank values. Also note the difference from submitting by  
pressing Enter and clicking a submit button with a field name:

   <input type="submit" name="something" value="Submit me" />

The something-value will only be sent when the button is pushed, even  
if this is the only submit button in the form.

Standard trick in Publisher is to use default values for such  
parameters.
