Where did you get that property list? It is not valid.

Empty data nodes are invalid according to the Document Type Definition (See 
http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd). Xcode's property list editor 
will report a corrupted property list when you attempt to open a list 
containing such empty nodes.

Anyway the XML parser in this library does not check the DTD and is quite 
permissive. So I added support for empty data and string nodes in r94.

However you still should not use such empty nodes if you want to use your 
property lists to work in other programs/with other libraries.
