> If editing a component descriptor by hand, a multi-valued parameter can either be set to an empty array or to null.  However, the CDE and the CPE GUI both present a list widget for these parameters, which does not provide any way to distinguish between the two.
> An empty array is specified in the descriptor by:
> <nameValuePair>
>   <name>paramName</name>
>   <value>
>     <array></array>
>   </value>
> </nameValuePair>
> Whereas a null is indicated by not specifying including a <nameValuePair> element for the parameter at all.
