It's consistent with other JavaScript APIs were null also means "null".

Overloading this API to also do removal of the header is not a goal here  
and is simply a bug in Firefox as it also does that for the empty string  
value (Firefox simply treats null identically to the empty string, where  
other browsers treat it identically to "null".
