Having nulls in the cipher key is no help at all in understanding cipher practices. 

Yes, l agree.  Any thoughts on sources?

Although it does strike me as a possible thesis in historic cryptography - “The Use of Nulls in 15th Century Ciphers”  - although l’m a little concerned you’d have to expand at least into the 16th Crntury to have enough material for a decent degree defense!

There are quite a few sources. Are you actually undertaking academic research?
