Re: [PHP Template] Revised proposal

my system actually had an alt="value" tag for unknowns.  So for example:

Welcome to {{sitename alt="Mysite.com"}}

I think it is a pretty clean way of handling it in the templates without any
code changes required.  There was also an option to autohide an entire
section if it contained unknowns with no alt attributes.  This is useful for
example to hide a table when no results are returned.
