I can't find anything in the specs about this, but it does say ASCII fields should be padded with space characters (hex 20), so I think a good start would be to fill the tag and descriptor with spaces.For the date, I suggest something which would not upset a host trying to decode it, such as 01 01 01 (which would mean 1 January 1901), rather than 00 00 00 (which might confuse a lookup table for days and months).
