Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 Uploaded a patch that supports validation for `type` being a list. Then,
 the post controller can specify that the `date/date_gmt` is a `'type' =>
 array( 'string', 'null' )`. Then, in `prepare_item_for_database` check
 that the parameter was included in the request and set to `null`.

 This introduces `WP_REST_Request::has_param` to make it simpler to check
 if a parameter with a null value was included in the request. The settings
 controller ( which also checks for null values ) works around this by
 using `array_key_exists` on the existing `::get_params()` method.
