EMPTY CDATA in XML

<body><![CDATA[]]></body>

or 

<body></body>

Is there a difference or downside to each? Do I need to do anything while parsing the XML? What do you prefer?

As far as the XML parser is concerned there is NO difference. If you wish to force CDATA creation during XSLT output there is an option (cdata-section-elements) that can be used to cause certain elements to output CDATA.
