In WW1.3 and 1.4 a string parameter that is empty will set the string property to the 
empty string. Not null.
If your program choose to interpret this as null that is up to you. How can you 
otherwise see the difference between a parameter that is not sent in at all and one 
that is sent in but is empty?
