I know undefined and empty are different concepts, but mediawiki is not a
programming platform, it deals mainly with text content instead. It seems to me
that assuming they're equal (as #if: currently does) would bring more good than
evil.

On one hand, I can see several uses for leaving a parameter without a value (in
an infobox, for example, for later filling -- that would greatly simplify the
code in the template size, by removing all those ugly #if: tests).

On the other hand, I can't think of any reason one would want to explicitly set
a parameter to an empty string; still, in that case, passing a whitespace
(perhaps hardcoded as &nbsp; or &ensp;?) should suffice.
