MyISAM RAID_TYPE

Reading page 440 of the Certification and Study Guide, I see that RAID_TYPE can be set to "1","STRIPED", or "RAID0" ... and that all three values are synonymous.

If all three are synonymous ... ie: interchangeable ... ie: 1 = STRIPED = RAID0 ... and there are NO other values ... then why assign a value to RAID_TYPE ?

Why not just utilize it as a keyword ...

CREATE TABLE big_table(...)
RAID_TYPE RAID_CHUNKS=100 RAID_CHUNKSIZE=2000


... rather than the assignment of a variable?

CREATE TABLE big_table(...)
RAID_TYPE=1 RAID_CHUNKS=100 RAID_CHUNKSIZE=2000


Or, am I missing something?
