> The Map returned by UIComponent.getAttributes() is too restrictive with respect
> to null values.
> MyFaces will always throw an NPE for a null value.  Granted, the following is
> in the javadocs:
>  * Any attempt to add a null key or value must throw a NullPointerException.
> However, the following is also in the same section:
>  * put() - If the property is writeable, call the setter method to set the corresponding value (unwrapping primitive values in their    
>    corresponding wrapper classes). If the property is not writeable, or an attempt is made to set a property of primitive type to null, throw 
>    IllegalArgumentException.
> Notice the comment about setting a primitive property to null.  This implies that a null value for this case
> is legal.  The RI will only throw the NPE against a null value *if* there isn't an associated property.
