Description
**Original report ([archived issue](https://osrf-migration.github.io/sdformat-gh-pages/#!/osrf/sdformat/issues/174)) by Shane Loretz (Bitbucket: [Shane Loretz](https://bitbucket.org/%7B656e3311-aad9-45a1-aaf7-b0ee0e84b287%7D/), GitHub: [sloretz](https://github.com/sloretz)).**

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the SDF 1.6 specification and the archived issue linked in the report. Determine how empty geometry is currently represented and identify the parser and specification tests that define valid geometry syntax; done means empty geometry forms are accepted without requiring the tag.
