Str:
1. Visit a page with a windowless plugin; e.g. http://www.brandonsanderson.com/
2. Locate the accessible for the embedded object.
3. Call IAccessible::accChildCount on this accessible.
Expected: 0.
Actual: 1.
4. Call AccessibleChidlren, passing iChildStart as 0 and cChildren as the child count (step 3).
Expected: The returned array should be empty (no children).
Actual: An array of length 1 is returned. The array member is a VARIANT with VT_DISPATCH but a pDispVal of NULL.

A NULL child should never be returned by AccessibleChildren.

This doesn't affect users of NVDA (or probably any other AT), but it's probably worth fixing for correctness and automation.
