Hi, The specification doesn't seem to make it entirely clear whether it's allowable for a record to contain no fields (a zero-length array for the fields member). I've found at least one implementation that complains about a record with an empty fields array, and I'm wondering if this is a bug.
A record containing no fields is actually quite useful as it can act as a placeholder for a record with any number of extra fields in future evolutions of a schema. What do you think? cheers, rog.
