Think about it: do you prefer to add one extra table once at design time or keep adding IS NULL/ IS NOT NULL extra resource consuming clause on ALL processes using a specific table. You simply kill both performance (additional index scan) and correctness of results (no matter how many clauses you add, you may skip one over several procedures.)
