The current text in 6.2 talks about whether the value is "simple" AND "is
a text node or nodes". I suspect the simplest way to address this is to
tweak the text to say:

"If the value is not simple or is empty, then..."

That will result in the serialization just capturing the element, and
since I don't know of any use cases for "nil" anyway, that avoids any
extra work to handle that case.
