The empty type has two states in the fullest sense, but remember that missing values are not treated as first-class values. In particular, if a leaf is a key for a list, the leaf element must be present in all list elements: 7.8.2. The list's key Statement The combined values of all the leafs specified in the key are used to uniquely identify a list entry. All key leafs MUST be given values when a list entry is created. Thus, any default values in the key leafs or their types are ignored. It also implies that any mandatory statement in the key leafs are ignored. So a leaf with empty type can be included in the key, but since it always has the same value, it has no effect.
