I think that the source of confusion is that we have two possible 
states: 0-length attribute value and no attribute value. In schema you 
can say that attribute with 0 length value is acceptable. But on UI - as 
registration - it is indistiguishable what was intended for empty cell: 
0-length value or no value.

We have ticket to fix it, most likely we will drop support for 0-length 
attribute values completely - what will simplify the situation, and the 
only control will be the optional or not setting on the form.

Thanks,
Krzysztof
