Good question. I don't think the standard says anything about how to
deal with an empty list.  Looking at:

 http://rel.kxml.no/noark5/v4/api/arkivstruktur/arkiv/

The above page is returning a single object rather than a list of
objects and that object is not null. I am not sure what links you would
like to have associated with an empty list, a link back to itself?
