Ah, that's where those HintFoo thingies are documented.
It is an issue with man pages. Hyperlinks are lost, they are links only
on the project site.
I don't think the end-users reading the manpage should have to refer to
the DBus interface docs to know what to do and what does what.
I agree that it is not clear that these hints are mostly interpreted by
3rd party applications. Which way udev attributes are converted to
boolean values is obscure as well. On the other hand examples in Arch
wiki use namely "1". Somebody may file a bug. For me priority is rather low.
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-my-stop-udisk.rules
ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"

I would consider a more specific rule just to avoid pollution of
attributes of unrelated devices.
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"
