David,

We can and we should enforce at least two children. We are the ones making
the XLIFF specification.

If you want empty groups or groups with just one element, then don't talk
about "grouping". Find another name for the new element and another
justification for adding it.

If the idea is to "group" things then there should be at least two things to
be grouped. If the intention is not just "grouping" then we need a
clarification and probably a new feature request should be added in section
two of the wiki. The name of the feature we voted and approved is "Grouping
of entries", not "General container". 

Regards,
Rodolfo
