Jay Brown commented on CMIS-659:
--------------------------------

I would like to clarify a special case for String values related to this issue:
 
For Strings (only) an empty string  "" is a valid string value and is different from string "Not Set".   Correct? This situation cannot occur with the other types.

One possible inclusion for this exception would be for HTML properties.  Would an empty string be == "Not Set" for HTML?

> I need clarification about how properties are handled in the getProperties() call which have the status "not set".
> On the one hand side the spec states:
> 2.2.1.2.1 Properties
> ...
> If a property filter specifies a property that is 'not set', it MUST be represented as a property element without a value element. 
> On the other hand side its stated for multi value properties:
> 2.1.2.1 Property
> ...
> A multi-valued property is either set or not set in its entirety. An individual value of a multi-valued property MUST NOT be in an individual "value not set" state and hold a position in the list of values. An empty list of values MUST NOT be allowed.
> My question is if properties with value 'not set' should be returned in a getProperties() call at all?
