Andrew, Thanks for the feedback. Since this is open source, "developers" == "Andrew Kharchuk". You are more than welcome to submit a patch. I can't tell you if the HSSF developers will accept it. If you do, I would recommend creating methods like getFirstNonNullCellNum() and getLastNonNullCellNum(). This is because people already count on HSSF working the way it does today, any changes to existing methods may break their code.
