The [Web Components Community group F2F](https://github.com/WICG/webcomponents/issues/1083#issuecomment-2660170704) liked the nullable version better, although I probably biased things by stating that as my preference (I've come around to see it that way).

> Dan: reference target IDL should be nullable? It gets into weirdness, if you set an id to null, it becomes the string “null”. Feels like a pitfall, especially if you want to check if it is null (falsy). The question really is how do we unset this value. Leaning towards making it nullable. Other takes?
Keith: is this specified as reflection of the attribute? It has to be limited to known values, right?
Dan: it won’t reflect elements, just what you set it. The next issues get into more interesting cases.
Dan: it sounds like no disagreement, so we can close that out.

There was an extended pause for feedback before my "it sounds like no disagreement". 😊
