19.7Null semantics deserve their own meeting

Ask explicitly:

“If the source stops sending a value, should we leave the Salesforce field unchanged or clear it?”

Those are very different:

field omitted
→ preserve

field = null
→ clear

Maybe.

Or Product may say:

both mean clear

Don't decide this yourself.

This single ambiguity can destroy large amounts of Salesforce data.
