I agree that the current implementation is inconsistent.

It should be no problem that XML elements occurring in the loaded configuration
document but don't have text are added to the configuration. To use your 
example:

<configuration>
  <foo>
    <bar/>
  </foo>
</configuration>

If this file was loaded, conf.containsKey("foo.bar") should return true and
conf.getString("foo.bar") should return an empty string, right?

What about the <foo> element? ATM the "foo" key is not contained in the
configuration object. For the sake of consistency the same results should be
returned as for the "foo.bar" key. Do you agree?

While this is only a minor change in the source code it will have a major
impact. The number of keys in an XMLConfiguration would increase, which might
break existing code using this class. What do others think about this?
