The latter. Nowhere does the spec say that anything is added (implicitly) to the where clause, and I would never agree to that. But it does say "In the context of the DAV:orderby element, null values are considered to collate before any actual (i.e., non null) value, including strings of zero length". (5.6 in the most recent draft) Is this a problem either technically or editorially? regards Jim
