Ah, I didn't see that question in your original mail, so you said: I found that z.a.catalog, AttributeIndex fails to remove the previous value/object from the index IF the new value is None. From this I derived that removing the value would be the right thing to do. I didn't see the question about whether to index None or not. IIRC the FieldIndex in Zope 2 uses None as a valid value to index and to search for. If I read the source and tests correctly, it's just an implementation accident, because someone used None as a getattr() marker instead of using a unique marker like object(). At least there is no test and no interface description that says that None should not be indexed.
