Pretty much every method and attribute setter relies on the Gecko behavior of
null -> "" I think and there is quite some content out there that relies on
this too. Enough that Opera recently switched from null -> "null" to null ->
"".

I believe WebKit has had similar experience. Now if Gecko is changed and they
can ship with that change null -> "null" might be the right thing to do, but
otherwise the more sensible default is null -> "". Both for existing methods
and attribute setters and for future ones, so we have at least some
consistency.
