To get back to my "docs patch proposal" - I could submit a patch if you would kindly point me where to start. I would also prefer to submit such a patch only after it is decided whether this is a docs bug or impl bug, and whether or not it will be fixed (it would be suitable to put a disclaimer in case the implementation intentionally diverges from the standard). Most importantly, the implementation and documentation should be in accord, even if it means both of them deviate from the standard.

I’m already writing a patch to better document NULL behavior in PostgreSQL and will add whatever we come up with to that.   I really doubt we are going to change this in the name of standard conformance.  One can get standard behavior via case of really needed.
