XDM allows empty text nodes, but they only exist transiently and never have a

If there's a lesson from this thread, it's that Ihe and many others don't want
complete explanations. They haven't got time for them. They want something
short and simple that is true most of the time. They don't mind the fact that
as a result, their programs will sometimes be wrong.
