Document MUST not contain empty elements.

Why it fails

The document contains an element with no content. Peppol rejects empty elements outright.

How to fix it

Remove empty elements instead of emitting them. This usually comes from a serialiser that writes every field in the model whether or not it has a value - configure it to omit nulls and empty strings.
