I am not sure what you are trying to say here. This is a matter of empty
list items, not empty lists and the difference between 0#rule and 1#rule
is the difference between [ 1#rule ] and 1#rule. Your rewrite disallows
constructs that are valid under RFC 2616 and the current draft for which
support is required and recommended respectively.
