is javascript null separate type of object's value?

Question

According to "8.2 The Null Type" chapter of Ecma-262 "null" is type.

But typeof(null) is object, so null is just a value of type object.

How could it be?

This is a known bug. This will be fixed in ES6.

In ES6

typeof null === "null";
