Empty headers are a whole different matter (and pose their own problems in
a news context, and would also require significant software work to
accept). Duplicated headers are yet another issue. Empty and duplicated
headers are more of a direct issue for mail to news gateways and actually
a more interesting problem.
I consider an empty header to be in a completely different category than a
header with content but no space.
