My point was that the NMTOKENS type *is* defined explicitly as
non-zero-length in the schema doc while the NMTOKEN type is not. As you
say, it is only defined as non-zero-length in the grammar rules in the
XML 1.0 spec and not in the schema docs which is my issue. 

"Any property identified as a having a set, subset or *list* value may
have an empty value unless this is explicitly ruled out: this is not the
same as absent." Says the schema doc. I imply from that it must be ruled
out in the schema doc.

Where is the bugzilla database to do this?
