All the sub-elements of additionalMetadata which have a data type xs:string could be changed to NonEmptyStringType.

- hierarchyLevel
- citation
- objectName
- characterEncoding
- formatName
- parentCollectionIdentifier
- collectionIdentifier
- collectionName
- formationPeriod
- specimenPreservationMethod
- livingTimePeriod

I think this makes sense, yes. 
In that case practically all xs:string elements should then use NonEmptyStringType. Even if the eml schema says its xs:string, any NonEmptyStringType is an xs:string so we're on the safe side!
