/** "No value" encoder. This encoder type was necessary as there are some
 * optional parameters that have no value. Therefore, it was possible for the
 * tag/value map in <code>TLVTable</code> to have <code>null</code> values in
 * it. As <code>null</code> is also returned from a map when there is no value
 * for a particular key, some way was needed to distinguish between a parameter
 * not set and a parameter having a null value. Hence the encoder.
