I was talking about existing parsers.

So, the idea is that any parser returning blank objects either shouldn't or is easy to work around? Maybe. What about the (used to be fairly common in the real world, maybe has dropped out of use?) pattern of setting value="placeholder" and clearing onblur with JavaScript. These would not parse as blank but as placeholder garbage. Anyway, if this is not a concern then it's not a concern. I just brought it up because it would certainly affect code I have in production and so I need to at least be thinking about it.
