Yes. I usually refer to them as "optional" values, rather than "nullable" values. Something should only be null if it is truly optional to the class, view or whatever, which is a pretty rare thing. If a class requires a certain value to be able to do it's work, and that value is missing (null), why was the class even instantiated? That should be a big no-no.
