      There is a rule that prohibits empty elements. There's a separate tracker item (http://gforge.hl7.org/gf/project/fhir/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=8247) that deals with the issue that this constraint isn't showing up in the publication.

      Comment:

      the root group has cardinality [1..1] but all of its children element are optional. So is an empty group valid? Should there be at least one child element defined as required?
