I tried returning nulls for blank items from data provider but as you said it feels like a hack because now my GridView#populateItem() needs to handle items with null model objects.
The way GridView behaves is confusing because it displays the entire row of cells (some potentially blank) if the row has at least one item. If the row has no items, then the row is not displayed. So, GridView pads every row with empty cells but doesn't do this for every column. Should this be filed as a bug?
