JSON-RPC: Wrong specification or implementation?

[gagarin55]

According to documentation of eth_getBlockByNumber when pending block requested result should have null in number field.

number: QUANTITY - the block number. null when its pending block.

But in the code of Parity I've found that it always returns number of next block :

impl<'x> OpenBlock<'x> {
	/// Create a new `OpenBlock` ready for transaction pushing.
	...
        let number = parent.number() + 1;
        ...

Could you please clarify can number has null value or not ?

Another question is about miner field. Could it has null value or not ?

@gagarin55 Looks like miner field cannot be null. If I understand it correctly, if it is not set, the default will be 0x00...00.
