hmm.  we can do enforce non-empty text nodes in the implementation, with (e.g.)

  <data type="string">
	<param name="pattern">.+</param>
  </data>

I am now wondering whether our <textNode/> is actually needed.
Why are we not doing <macroRef key=“data.text”/> in these
circumstances? or was I asleep when we discussed that in the
summer?
