#17210 closed Cleanup/optimization (fixed)

Description

Currently, NullBooleanSelect uses form with the following parameters:

choices = ((u'1', ugettext('Unknown')), (u'2', ugettext('Yes')), (u'3', ugettext('No')))

which generates URLs like ?param=3 for Param: No selection and ?param=1 for Param: Unknown. This makes URLs pretty counter-intuitive for search forms. For example, imaging search for issues. If you need to find all closed issues, the URL will be ?closed=3, not ?closed=1 as you may assume for boolean field.

It will be more user-friendly to generate param=, param=true and param=false for boolean field URLs.

I'm accepting the idea on principle, but I'd like to see a thorough analysis of how much backwards-incompatibility this change introduces.
