Hey Mark,
I certainly respect your opinion and I can easily see value either way
(allowing an empty instance for ease of scripting vs. requiring a root
element so that we don't have to further detail how instance('foo'), for
example, should work if foo is emtpy, etc.). But I also feel that we
should get this resolved in the working group such that everyone agrees
and so that we all implement this similarly. This isn't just a slight
difference in an undefined behavior between processors where some may
throw an event and some may not...it is the difference between handling
a form perfectly well and a fatal exception that stops processing.
Again, I don't really care which way we go...but we should all go the
same way.
