What would a NULL value mean? Why not zero? Remember IDENTITY is
proprietary and non-relational, so it can do anything it wants.
Think about how it would work if you had a 1950's sequential tape file
system. The counter starts at one and is incremented after the
insertion instead of before. It is the position of the read/write head
of the maganeitc tape drive.
