Manifest inclusion issue

[ian.c.jones@bt.com]

All TP&R,

	for the manifest is there any problem using the XML structure
<MANIFEST/> to show that it is empty, this should not impose any undue
overhead. (This assumes the manifest is now mandatory).  From my
understanding the manifest would be a nested data structure when populated
so this would easily show it was empty, alternatively why not put an
explicit attribute.  OR did I miss the point completely !!  I would have
raised this in the conf. call but we timed out.
