"null" is a significant term in the Java ecosystem, and the relationship here, to /dev/null or NUL seems somewhat tenuous.
Have any other names been considered? At least for the InputStream, calling it an "empty stream" seems more intuitive than a "null stream".

Add nullStream() method to each of InputStream and OutputStream. Thanks, Brian
