Does this imply that if LD Fragments are used for Hydra Collections that you could not return an empty collection? Returning an empty collection would be useful for describing operations, say, to add something to the collection. I realize that these are two different things, but if Hydra and LDF are bound, this seems to create an inconsistency.
