I began testing all attributes and operations with DOMString arguments
from a selection of specs for their behaviour wrt null and undefined:

  http://mcc.id.au/2009/01/string-handling/string-handling

Each pair of characters in the column for a browser is the behaviour for
null and undefined, respectively.  It’s nowhere near complete, though
you can see that there are some operations arguments and attributes that
stringify null to "null" (“S” in the column).
