I think that section 7.8 (at least in draft 12) covers this:

  "The condition value SHALL be 'True' if the <Condition> element is
   absent, or if it evaluates to 'True'."

So, there is always a defined value for the Condition, even if it is absent
from the Rule. Are you looking for something more?
