Javadoc does not specify... Is null allowed in Files.setAttribute() as an attribute value?

I don't think JSR 305 is well-specified. There isn't even Javadoc for most
of the annotations. There are differing interpretations of its annotations,
particularly with regard to things like what @Nullable on a parameter of an
interface method means (do all implementations of that interface have to
accept null?). Not to mention that type annotations change things quite a
bit.
