Yeah, but it looks awkward to send a message buffer which isn't used
at all. From protocol's point of view, it just looks wrong/buggy.

The backend can just look at the number of elements received, they
can either be 2 (in case of zero-length) transfer, or 3 (for
read/write) and any other number is invalid.

My concern is more about the specification here first.
