+#### Blank Values
+
+The framework will treat as valid any blank attributes, __without__ `presence`, for both `format` and `size` predicates.

+require 'lotus/validations'
+
+class Person
+  include Lotus::Validations
+
+  attribute :name,    type: String, size: 5..45
+  attribute :email,   type: String, size: 20..80, format: /@/
+  attribute :skills,  type: Array,  size: 1..3
+  attribute :keys,    type: Hash,   size: 1..3
+end
+
+Person.new.valid?                             # < true
+Person.new(name: '').valid?                   # < true
