I think we have had a couple conversations independently and i  
couldn't find any resolution on the mailing list.  My belief is that:

navigator.getCurrentPosition(null [,....]) (and watchPosition) should  
throw an error.

Generally, making a call like this is a programmatic error.  Although  
this really is an implementation detail in many ways, maybe this point  
should this be called out in the specification?  Something like:

Passing null as the |successCallback| is a programatic error and may  
throw.
