Payloads are smaller by omitting some characters, good.
But if it causes confusion between null (value is set as no value) and undefined (value is not set), I wouldn’t take it as a good thing.
"Absence and null are different things" ... how? The size of the payload doesn't only affect the request, also the parsing. You're literally loading something trough the wire and in memory that you could omit, just to use null X_X
