/createRoom initial_state possibly incorrectly allows state_key to be omitted

[Half-Shot]

More of a potential spec bug, but in /createRoom we describe state_key as being optional and if omitted, it should be empty string. This might not be the best approach and in the future we should require it (this came up in matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#1329).

Not really a spec bug given the description on the label. More proposal-worthy material for a community member though.

Possibly, it's such a boring proposal though :(

For the record, this is referring to this:

I'm going to close this as a WONTFIX. If someone wants to make an MSC proposing to mandate state_key I won't stop them, but I don't see it as a priority.
