I think that some of web containers implement the
request.getPatameter("myparam");
to return an empty string if parameter is not in request.I tested it on Oracle OC4J and it returns null. I think that this is not good. Imagine you have a pipeline and you want to pass A request parameter to transformation. But this parameter is optional and not required. When I do request-param:myparam and there is no such parameter in querystring - than I've got an NullPointerException I did my own request-param input module which solve this and it will return an empty string.

Nope since "" is different from null eg on database updates. If there is a null pointer exception inside the sitemap engine, this is an error since it should expect null values from an input module and replace it with "". Could you provide a test case for this that shows the error? (A short test of mine didn't reveal any problems.)
