SQL "Join" on null values

Maybe this would work, but I've never actually tried it:

SELECT * 
FROM T1 JOIN T2 
ON T1.SOMECOL = T2.SOMECOL OR (T1.SOMECOL IS NULL AND T2.SOMECOL IS NULL)

In SQL Server I have used:

WHERE (a.col = b.col OR COALESCE(a.col, b.col) IS NULL)

Obviously not efficient, because of the OR, but unless there's a reserved value you can map NULLs to on both sides without ambiguity or folding that's about the best you can do (and if there was, why was NULL even allowed in your design...)
