The semantics of a period with one side NULL require a more clear
definition. I don't personally see a lot of utility in trying to support
NULL semantics, but if we want to support it, it needs to be clearly
defined.
Does TSQL-2 offer any guidance here?

Of course. Except that means that a NULL on one side of a period is a
little less unknown than other kinds of NULLs ;)
