I added this test while ago because without it when you have blank 
titlepage template you will get empty fo:block (or div for HTML output). 
Empty fo:block is not problem at all, but empty div was a big problem, 
because this empty div caused HTML headings to be closer to previous 
paragraph then to following.

I didn't imagined situation when there will be empty string value of 
$recto.content while there will be some element content -- this is case 
of images.

Because of RTF hassles we can't test containment of subelements 
directly, so we must change condition to:

<xsl:if test="normalize-space($recto.content) != '' or 
exsl:node-set($recto.content)/*">

But in this case stylesheets will not work with non-EXSLT enabled XSLT 
processor.

The best we can do is to test for non-empty string value of 
$recto.content in all XSLT processor and add additional check for 
sublements for EXSL enables processors.
