	No,
	 
	it shouldn't. An empty string is a defined property value. NULLs sort *before* defined values, including empty strings.

		Hi,
		
		Should we also mention how empty properties are treated? A PROPFIND on an empty property would yield a 200 response (empty string), and should sort as NULL.

			Perhaps this should be 2xx.
