Ability to load blanks via SDX

It would be helpful to be able to load a blank field update via SDX.  For example, if I'm loading a vendor update (to all of my 28 companies that share vendor data) and the old entry has both Address 1 and 2 fields filled, but the new data being loaded only utilized Address 1.  I currently have to load something like a hyphen or a period in Address 2 to 'clear' the data, but that character then prints in the vendor address on reports, checks, etc unless I go into each individual company to manually clear the field.  It would be great to have a tag or something that I could use on the SDX import that would tell it to clear the field.   For example, if I wanted to clear a field I could type <clear> in that field on the import template and when loaded, it would clear any existing data from that field.
