I'm one of the people experimenting in this area. I've long argued
that a zero-output transaction should be permitted -- 100% miner fee
-- as an elegant proof of sacrifice. Unfortunately that requires a
hard fork. Also, for most people, it seems likely that a change
transaction would be generated. That, then, would generate an
already-standard transaction, where inputs > outputs.
