+  <p> Any invalid (i.e. rescinded) key is automatically replaced by a
+  null key.  This conversion may occur at any time, but is guaranteed
+  to occur if an invalid key is invoked.  The replacement logically
+  occurs just prior to the invocation of the key.
+  <p> <b>Note:</b> Formerly, number keys always returned
+  <strong>KT+1</strong> as the result code to any request.  With the
+  introduction of the <a href="../kernel/Void.html">void capability</a>, this is no longer true.
