I can understand that, but I think it's not only for aesthetic reasons. The
convention to provide no <pages> element when there are none might be OK, but
the missing <query> element only leads to workarounds - and so should be
implemented cleaner.
When you query more than only properties (eg. prop and meta and list) there
also always will be the <query> element, but maybe no <pages> element. So every
implementation would have to check for !query || !pages, and I think it
wouldn't cause any problems at least to provide the <query> element every time.
What about that?
