 request is opaque as far as this EIP is concerned. Therefore, it is to be
 determined by each request type individually.
 
+### Removing empty requests in commitment
+
+We exclude empty requests elements from the `requests_hash` commitment in order to get a
+stable 'empty' hash value that is independent of the blockchain fork. For a block with no
+requests data, the `requests_hash` is simply `sha256("")`.
