Hey there !
When denormalizing DateTime objects using the DateTimeNormalizer, there is no specific behavior for empty strings and null values, in both cases they get denormalized as a new DateTime object set to the current date and time.
This doesn't seems like a "feature" to me so I reported this issue as a bug but I might be wrong ?
In my opinion, both cases ('' and null) should return null.
Should I proceed with a pull request ?
