Currently getResponseHeader() returns the empty string for invalid header names. Would people object if I changed that to returning null instead (basically making it equivalent to headers not part of the response)? Thanks.

What do current implementations do for these cases?

I think three out of four return null for a non-existent header (IE being the exception, iirc). Firefox and an internal version of Opera also return null for invalid headers. (Although for Firefox it seems to differ on based on whether the request has happened already or something...)

I think firefox throws if we haven't received the full response head yet. Which I sort of think makes sense since we don't know yet what the correct return value is.
