You have stated that the property must be a valid email address. An 
empty string is no valid email address. So this could be logical too.
But of course you're right, this should be possible and is already 
planned. There is already a conjunction and disjunction validator that 
could be used to logically combine multiple validators (via AND/OR). The 
part that's missing is the format of the annotation.. If you have an 
idea, feel free to share it.

Best,
