The tag is mandatory if the document is being validated against a DTD. In
that case you can use the empty element tag ex. <DATE/>

Subject: Empty data, tags and XML
Hi all,
Got a question for the group. If there is no data in an XML field
will the XML tag still be needed in order for the file to be a valid XML
file?
Any input would be great, thanks.
