This is a comment.  It is not sent to the Requestor(s):

Another note: whlie the syntax and data model can naturally accommodate an
empty section or subsection with the final flag set, neither can naturally
represent a final-flagged relation with no values.  (In the memory
representation, a node with the deleted and final flags set could possibly do
in a pinch, but it isn't a natural representation.  A node with a null value
is semantically a section, not a relation.)

So, even with the two numbered limitations above addressed, there is no way to
use the final flag to force the use of the default value for a variable, or to
force an empty list for a relation that can have multiple values.
