I believe IE ignores the empty element because I must access the internet
through proxy.
And please refer to
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/system/windowsproxy/nsWindowsSystemProxySettings.cpp#177,
Firefox also ignores the empty element.

How does IE itself behave in this case?
Also, we should have a test to go along with the fix.
