That would be enough for my purposes. I don't know if it's enough for
Org's (and worry that the change might introduce hard-to-find bugs). I
wonder therefore if it might be better to create a wrapper with a
different argument list like

(defun org-element-create* (type &optional props children)
  (if children 
      (apply #'org-element-create type props children)
     (org-element-create type props))

But either would be fine with me.

Best,
Richard
