One note, though.  If we do want the current behavior, then I think that 
it would make sense to change the IDL for send() to:

   void send(ArrayBuffer data);
   void send(Blob data);
   void send(Document data);
   void send(optional DOMString? data = null);
   void send(FormData data);

and change the text that currently says "If the data argument has been 
omitted or is null" to "If the data argument is null".

That will make it much clearer to someone reading the IDL that passing 
nothing has the same behavior as passing null.
