FWIW:

The LRML specification is in lrml.dtd, and is quoted in the Lire
Developers Manual, Part III., Chapter 10.  The Lire Report Markup
Language.

It says about the entry element:

 <!ELEMENT %LIRE.entry;        (%LIRE.name;,
                                (%LIRE.name;|%LIRE.value;|%LIRE.group;)+)>

: the empty <lire:value> tag could just be skipped, since a lire:entry
contains one lire:name, plus at least one of lire:name, lire:value,
lire:group.

I'm building a CVS snapshot tarball now.  I'll give a call once
it's finished.

Bye,
