I'm not sure what you mean. You can set a property to the empty string --
that's what it's doing now. And the harm is that it doing that guarantees
that the property will always be set, even if <loadfile> didn't actually
load anything from the file. IOW: I'm using <loadfile> in combination with
<filterchain>/<linecontainsregexp>, and if the file doesn't contain a line
that matches my regexp, then nothing's actually getting loaded from the
file, and the property shouldn't get set. But the way it is currently, the
property does get set -- to the empty string.
