Probably those features are unsettable and must be explicitly set...

The problem is they're primitives so there is always a value in Java,
and the properties view is not a very helpful API so there's no really
nice way to distinguish how it looks when there is intrinsic default
value verses a value that has been explicitly set; worse still, it
doesn't like to let you set a value equal to the string representation
that's already present. One approach would be to specialize the
property editor so that something like "<unset>" is displayed when the
feature has eIsSet false but then you have to support parsing that too...
