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.
