Hey Brad,
 
Although it is still considered a best-practice, from a security standpoint, an empty root doesn't buy you anything. It is still possible for a "rogue" domain admin to escalate their privelege level and compromise the Configuration and Schema NCs, for instance. See Design Considerations for Delegation of Admininistration in Active Directory:
 
"Note that a dedicated forest root only provides protection against accidental or unintended misuse of privilege; owners of non-root domains can still use malicious methods to attempt to manipulate groups in the root domain."
