This text, "MBR.readFrom documentation will be updated to mention that
if MBR is not able to produce an instance that would represent an empty
content, it is expected to throw NoContentException (an IOException
subclass) and not return null.",
Would it break the applications written to expect that the empty
non-XML/JAXB payloads are represented as null ? AFAIK, only JAXB
providers were expected to return 400 if they could not read the body.
If I do a an empty form payload, this is obviously valid too (example, a
relevant @FormParam parameter would return 'null').
