RE: [PHP Template] Revised proposal

Well, an IF statement might be a bad example.  I was actually more
interested in just variables.  So if {{sitename}} was encountered w/o an alt
it could be removed, commented, error reported, or auto-assigned, as per
.ini setting.

As I said, though, it was just a crazy idea.  This is essientially an even
lazier/sloppier version of the batch_assign idea tossed around earlier, but
would be done automatically as a last-case fallback if so set in the .ini.

I'll add those to the proposal, Dan. But I think what the other guy
meant was that if you see variable in an 'if' statement and it has no
value, then it would be auto-assigned.
