Indeed. Important here is there difference between
http://example.org{?param}
and
http://example.org?param={param}
Only in the former case can a NIL value cause the parameter to be removed.
In the second case, we cannot touch "?param=".
In general, removing is thus not possible.
Furthermore, the default behavior of Web browsers for empty form input
is to append the field name with a zero-length value, not to omit the field.
My proposal is therefore compatible with browser behavior.
Best,
Ruben
