 While in [Optional=DefalutIsUndefined] the "supplemented" JavaScript undefined is converted to a WebKit string "undefined", in [Optional=DefaultIsNullString] the "supplemented" JavaScript undefined is converted to a WebKit null string. Specifically, if JavaScript calls func3(100, 200), then HTMLFoo::func3(int a, int b, String c, String d) is called in WebCore. Here 100 is passed to a, 200 is passed to b, a WebKit string "undefined" is passed to c, and a WebKit null string is passed to d.
