Empty <keycap> elements is already allowed by today's DTD.
Remember, <keycap/> is just the same as <keycap></keycap>.
The reason I might wish for a different element with an EMPTY content
model, is to make psgml (and other DTD aware editors) just insert an
<functionkey/>
element instead of an
<keycap></keycap>
when I press C-c C-e.
And I would agree that this reason may not be a very good reason to
add to the complexity of DocBook...:-)
