<p>Ah it does cause you to get an element with no content (<node...>) rather than an empty element (<node.../>) but any client that can't cope with that is just buggy!</p>

<p>Ah, I was wrong. The idea was really to have the response in line to what we have today, meaning, this extra logic was meant to re-create the exact same response, and avoid the extra <code></node></code>. This also happens to save a few bytes as well. Client should be able to handle either version.</p>
