a hard time understanding how one can consider the visuals of

as conveying the same semantics.
Well, to me the semantics are ‘maintain silence for the given period’.
The first of your examples does have different semantics from the second
one, because anybody reading it would see a quarter rest and lots of
empty space, wondering what he should do with it, so I can’t imagine a
usecase for that actual output. (A gap text, obviously, should be coded
with skips.)
I’m sorry if I seem to be apodictic, I’m genuinely wondering where the
flaw is in that idea.
