Hello Simon,
Good to know that there's a unique mapping for 'null' values.
But such values are just a symptom, the question being: how/when do they appear in the interpretation of an xmlrpc (or, thanks to the additional info you provided, soap) reply?
Going back to Jeff's original question: is it normal that an empty string returned in a struct from an xmlrpc query is interpreted as a 'null' value at the client side?
They appear like that when no data is returned for a given value. In AppleScript, it really should map to 'missing value', but doesn't. A null value is not an empty string. An empty string would be show as "". I don't the technical details why XML/RPC and SOAP requests are like this. You'll need to ask one of the Chris's.
