Not when not known but when not set. I.e., simply

	return $self->{'_strand'};

instead of

	return $self->{'_strand'} || 0;

I'm testing this right now for its knock-on effects. I suspect there 
might be some. But my take is that it is almost always wrong to make up 
a value where none has been set.
