Sounds more like the disagreement is what the purpose of the new feature is, who will use it, for what and how. To me your arguments sound like you are outputting XML or JSON. Sure, as a consumer of an XML stream I would not like it if some nodes are sometimes not there.
But this is not relevant here. This output should never be parsed. It's a convenience feature to be used in infobox templates. Anything that "just looks wrong" from a users perspective will be rejected and not used by the communities. Any "just looking wrong" is true for commas that separate empty elements, thumbnails separated by commas, and lists that aren't lists.
We did have a lengthy discussion about div vs span because of this issue.
As already said above a private chat is of no value. Who is "we"? What issue? What arguments did you shared? Which arguments did you considered more relevant than others? Which arguments did you missed?
