Great! So we have consensus:

   The null content form shall be the recommended practice in the markup
   guide.

Short-term Timeline:
--------------------
I'll look over the threads on this list, Brad's post, & the existing 
guide over next few days and summarize the status on or by October 11th. 
If I don't identify any outstanding/undiscussed issues, Karsten & I will 
then proceed to draft a markup policy guide. If I identify any issues 
that have yet to be raised, I will certainly bring them to the table for 
discussion.

A cursory glance at the Fedora Docs Guide didn't yield any mention of 
conditionalization (tho I could've missed it). In my summary, then, I'll 
also make some suggestions for handling conditionalization (for 
different arches, say), via attribute-based profiling.

Have a weekend!

Cheers,
Mark
