No, it's documented. "null" is a synonym for the null character, ASCII zero.

I'm not sure I'd set a property to null. It may work fine now, but it 
strikes me as... dangerous. (cue ominous background music) Nulls are 
used to terminate strings in C, and it's possible to have unexpected 
results if some Rev routine handles a string containing a null 
without escaping it first.

What's the objection to setting it to space?
