My point was that there are at least three differing perspectives on
"proper" handling of that list.  I'm not saying CF's is right, but the
simple fact that that's the way it's always been requires a little
more than "well I think" logic to instigate a change.

And since CF equates the empty string to null, and null means "doesn't
exist", then ignoring empty elements makes sense.
