Since this feedback was never presented to D3E, I raised an issue to discuss this on Anne's behalf. After testing implementations and discussion about the merits of the restriction, we determined that no implementation threw exceptions for null and empty string types. The greatest interop was to remove this restriction for both null and empty string. Change 1.189 attempted to remove this restriction from D3E. However, you've pointed out a stray line that still references this restriction. My apologies that this wasn't removed in the original change. In agreement with the resolution of ISSUE-178, I've updated the spec to remove this line. Thanks, Jacob
