Aha. Is this what we want? What is the rationale? Probably there is
lot's of code relying on the NULL since that is what we use ourself in
our test code and samples code.
Any changes in this area could be a bit dangerous...... should be
communicated very well. Since I was not aware of it -yet-,
communication on this change is still required......

(e.g. update of javadoc)

cheers
