Description Abel Braaksma 2016-09-27 15:15:56 UTC 
In XSLT 3.0 it is allowed (since a while) to have empty-matching regexes. This was decided three years ago in a Prague meetup, I believe and I (vaguely) remember that the intent was to bring the specs in line with this.

In short, could we drop FORX0003?

There was no consensus to make this change.
