TEI (at least) has always made use of such empty markers to some extent. For example if you are marking up a manuscript (rather than in idealised view of the document) you might want to base the XML tree on the logical document structure of chapters, sections etc, but still need to mark up things like page 1 starts here, page 1 ends here.
