That is reasonable, the other interpretation would be that no line
is printed; having 0 == default width => 0 > 1 is not a good thing.

I would not support that idea, better is to have no default width and
instead of writing 0 in the line width column, write a real width
like 5 or 10, and let 0 in effect be either "as thin as possible" or
"no line".
