Strange. If it says "array", how NULL becomes valid? Why don't you pass "false" or "0" or just empty string? What's the difference? It says "array" and it means "array". NULL is not array, never was in PHP and never will be. Therefore NULL is invalid there.

Shorter summary: if TemplaVoila and RealURL can update to use parameters properly, other extensions can do the same.
