Apparently existing content does not rely on it (FF gets away with 
implementing something that IMHO makes *much* more sense). So why 
standardize it at all, or, when doing so, select something that doesn't 
make sense in practice?

Or are you claiming that people who set a header to null *really* want 
the specified behaviour?
