I expect the opposite makes more sense:

   (defun region-active-p (&optional allow-empty)
     "Return non-nil if the region is active.
   Optional argument ALLOW-EMPTY non-nil means that an empty region
   may also be considered as active."
     ...)

This is because in most cases we've seen we want to treat empty regions as
inactive.
