An or function, for instance, is supposed to go through a list of inputs until it finds a true value. If one of those inputs fails to find any values, and the MustBePresent attribute is false, then an empty bag is returned. This is done precisely so that the function may skip over that input and continue on (whereas it might choose to do something different in an error case). Functions that do not take attribute bags as arguments may still need to recognize the special case of an empty bag. seth
