Well - some simple tests with CFWDDX shows that empty strings are fine (as you'd expect). For other simple values (booleans, dates and numbers) empty tags result in errors. For complex types (arrays, recordsets, structs) it will create a "default" (empty) object.
I'm not sure if all the parsers follow this behavior (it's not documented as far as I can tell) but that's the way the parser in CF7 works.
