Note that not all languages have a clear "null" value for strings (or for other types). It's up to the binding to define what Null will be mapped to. But I believe there are places in the DOM API where null and empty string must be distinguishable, so even if null must be implemented as a reserved string value (ugh!) making it the empty string would appear likely to violate DOM compliance. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman, IBM Next-Generation Web Technologies: XML, XSL and more.
