No, empty strings must remain possible, especially for a general purpose
base format for containers (don't think of Matroska!). The situation is
different than the one for integers. You can express »empty« for an
integer with a one-byte value part, but you can only do the equivalent
for a string with a string of 0 bytes length. We must allow it.

Kind regards,
mosu
