Hi Jan, 

currently creating a DB inserts a (dummy):document-node() into the DB; 
to allow: 
create db test2
insert node <xml /> as first into .
which does not add a document but adds a node to before created document-node().

We put this on our TODO list, trying to find a solution.

We are using a private Redmine internally, so I am sorry I can not give you an URL. 
But reporting via the Mailinglist is just fine. You might also use Sourceforge [1]


Kind regards
Michael

PS: If I should fill it to some bug tracking tool, just let me know where I can find it. Sourceforge?
