Are you sure?

There was at some historical time when the value of "nothing" got
assigned its own letter, i.e. the '0' (zero) and for a very good cause
even. That strike in it self opened up for modern time math to evolve
into what it is today. And whit out it correct math would be
impossible.

Still it seems that the value 'zero' is something that "markup
equilibrists" can not fathom, but instead happily goes on to paint
themselves into the nearest corner.

There is nothing wrong with a content-less element (its syntactical
markup shall be Ok of course) its only a matter of mathematical
amateurs to grow up and start recognizing 'zero' as a valid value
among values.
