I'm inclined to think that is a bug, because there are perhaps
legitimate reasons for the text attribute of a particular gentext
template to be empty in some languages.

The template gentext.template.exists in the 1.0 stylesheets has what may be a
bug.
This template says that it returns 1 if a gentext template exists for a
particular context and name and 0 if the template doesn’t exist.
However, if a gentext template does exist, but it has a text value that is empty
(e.g., <l:template name=“somename” text=“”/>), gentext.template.exists returns
0, not 1.
That is, it doesn’t distinguish between a template with a null value for the
text and a non-existent template.
My question is whether this is a bug or a feature? I’m inclined to think it’s a
bug, but I’m not sure.
If it’s a bug, I’m glad to file a report.
