I don't understand why any of these variants are better than the
original wording "blank-padded". That has the non-negligible
advantage of corresponding to the type name, and furthermore
appears in many other places in our docs and source code.
There may be some other wording improvements we could make here,
but I think b69db5173 was fundamentally misguided in this respect.
