question(bug) about setNodeValue

hi,

I find that when call setNodeValue with "null", xmlc will report errors 
like below:

java.lang.NullPointerException

org.enhydra.xml.xmlc.servlet.XMLCContext.writeDOM(XMLCContext.java:504)

My codes like this:
....
HTMLElement ipAddr = (HTMLElement) page.getElementById(LIST_IPADDR_TAG);
ipAddr.getFirstChild().setNodeValue(current.getIpAddr()); // <-- here, 
getIpAddr() may return null
....
context.writeDOM(req, resp, page);

Accroding to api doc, setNodeVaule can accept null parameter:

The value of this node, depending on its type; see the table above. When it
is defined to be null, setting it has no effect.

So, what happened with setNodeValue?

Thanks!
