Done.

Yes, these were added to the templates.  The reason for the
invention of "empty" was because the parsing mechanism of
pkisilent threw the "" value away, thus I passed in the string
"empty" so that it could be processed.  The parser already
utilizes other "magic" values such as "(optional" to distinguish
between required and optional parameters, and I felt that
it was prudent not to attempt to alter the overall pkisilent
parsing mechanism in order to address the bug in question.
