This is an unlikely situation to occur in real web pages, so there is neither much risk nor much benefit to this change. One way this could break a page is if it calculates a URL and erroneously ends up with a null. In this case, raising an exception would further break page logic - instead of getting error and loaded events, it will likely be stuck waiting for these forever. Could you elaborate on why this seems incorrect to you? Generally speaking, special casing just null and undefined to bypass toString conversion would be unusual and surprising. - WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov
