It does sound like sort of a bug. Underlying secondary issue is that
there are different implementations of QName; some of which accept
nulls (as equivalent to ""), others that do not. I forget which kinds
came from which sources; I think some containers (WebSphere) had
non-standard variant.
I mention this only because it may be tricky to reproduce the issue on
some containers; and that it probably does not affect all users.
But since passing of empty String should always work, it sounds like
code in json-to-stax converter should just convert nulls to empty
Strings.
