Unrecognized geometry type when using <empty> tags

I want to create an empty geometry. According to the sdf documentation <geometry> supports <empty> tags to do just that. I have the visual part in my world file as follows:

    <visual name="visual">
        <pose>0 0 0 0 0 0</pose>
        <geometry>
         <empty>
        </empty>
        </geometry>
    </visual>

Everytime I run gzclient it then tells me [Err] [msgs.cc:2872] Unrecognized geometry type I am using Gazebo 11. Anyone knows how to solve this?

Wow I had never noticed that empty tag on the SDF spec. I wonder if it has ever worked. I'd ticket an issue.
