What are your thoughts on the modified proposal stated in my reply to
Luke (i.e., keep both, but have blank automatically set to True when
null=True and then allow the explicit setting of blank=False)?

As for every combination making sense, this may be the case — but
instances when blank and null are set to the inverse of one another
will be quite rare IMHO (especially the inverse of your example:
blank=True and null=False, although perhaps some custom manipulator
magic would come into play there), and the default case should make
life easier for those 90%+ cases where one expects that being able to
save null values implies that one should be able to submit blank form
values.
