Nobody has run into this? It is impossible to submit empty form fields
through Ajax with this new behavior in Prototype. The best solution is
to just switch forms to use normal POSTs, that's lame.
You can reproduce by doing my previous example, or even:
new Ajax.Request('/', { parameters: 'x=&y=&foo=bar' } )
Take a look at what was POSTed, it's not what you'd expect.
