RE: Issue with "Treatment of NULL Values"

No,

it shouldn't. An empty string is a defined property value. NULLs sort
*before* defined values, including empty strings.

  Hi,

  Should we also mention how empty properties are treated? A PROPFIND on an
empty property would yield a 200 response (empty string), and should sort as
NULL.

The draft currently says:

"If a PROPFIND for a property value would yield a 404 or 403 response for
that property, then that property is considered NULL."

Shouldn't this say:

"If a PROPFIND for a property value would yield any non-200 (OK) response
for that property, then that property is considered NULL."

Perhaps this should be 2xx.
