You know that you can create a DOM Element by doing $("<div></div>"), right? I think that might be a better way to achieve what you're trying to achieve, but I'm not sure. :(
I think $([]) is currently the most elegant way to get an empty object, but this is definitely something that should be pointed out front-and-center.

I've been using jQuery for a few months now, trying to convert all my
hand-rolled javascript and came across a minor problem that I could not find
documented anywhere:
I want to create DOM elements and add them into a jQuery object, as in;
var result = [empty jQuery object];
$.each(...
var element = ...;
result.add(element);
);
But how to create an empty jQuery? Scouring the source code, I eventually
hit upon $([]), but this is nowhere documented. Is there a better way?
Is there a good reason $() should return $(document) rather than an empty
jQuery?
