A test requires a boolean, if you give it a node set (as here) it is
true if the node set is non empty, it doesn't matter what the nodes are
(they may be empty elements)

this is a FAQ (the faq for this list has several solutions depending on
what you mean by empty) test="node()" tests if the current element has
children which is the cannonical definition of empty.
