Erm, maybe. Am I right that:


Let me do two things:

1) Assume that the catalogues consist of the label "SECRET" only, aside from the empty label.
2) Spell catalogue correctly. Honestly, these Americans...


Scenario 1:
  - Empty item in catalog
  - Restrict true


Client may use Empty or SECRET, only.


Scenario 2:
  - Empty item in catalog
  - Restrict false


Client may use Empty or SECRET - or any other label, should it know of some.


Scenario 3:
  - No empty item in catalog
  - Restrict false


Client may use SECRET - or any other label, should it know of some - or the empty label.

Scenario 4:
- No empty item in catalogue
- Restrict true

Client may use SECRET - or the empty label.

all ultimately mean the same thing to the client?

No - adding an empty label does provide a selector for it, but a client may always send no label.

However, client may not always send *other* labels. (How they'd discover them is not within the scope of XEP-0258, but they could be policy aware and have access to the directory containing clearance information, perhaps.)
