// Leaf nodes no longer allow null values and thus we no longer emit null values. Previously, the "empty"
// yang type was represented as null so we translate an incoming null value to Empty. It was possible for
// a BI user to set a string leaf to null and we're rolling the dice here but the chances for that are
// very low. We'd have to know the yang type but, even if we did, we can't let a null value pass upstream
// so we'd have to drop the leaf which might cause other issues.
