this (very useful) clarification has made me embark in a three hour long
quest to correct (some of?) the many places where I indeed was loosing
empty elements
thanks but I really hate when I find out bugs that i never have thought of

one should indeed always rtfm, and I really enjoy doing it, but there are
so many to read and so few hours in a day...
