Selecting null value from XML in SQL Server

Question

I\'m trying to select from XML that has a null as one of the attributes. Instead of returning a null, it returns a 0. What am I doing wrong?
See code below to replicate:

I would sugest this approach:

DECLARE @a XML = '
  
    1
    1
  
  
    
    2
  
  
    3
    3
  
'

SELECT
    ParamValues.TaskChainerTask
        .value('./Property1[not(./@*[local-name()="nil"] = "true")][1]', 'int') as Property1,
    ParamValues.TaskChainerTask
        .value('./Property2[not(./@*[local-name()="nil"] = "true")][1]', 'int') as Property2
FROM @a.nodes('//Element') ParamValues(TaskChainerTask)
