[Bins] Bug#308338: should not *require* each child element in an XML file

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: bins
Version: 1.1.27-2
Severity: wishlist

The documentation says that you can create a image.jpg.xml with three
child elements and something similar applies to album.xml.  I don't
have to specify anything in <bins> and <exif>, I only want to fill in
<description>.  However, BINS fails if you don't add these elements,
even if they are just empty.  It would be nice if the program would
not require that each of these elements are there.
