Some early requests.
* Option to disable default content in empty tabs, including that in the 'Main' tab for an empty page. It's okay the first time or two, but quickly becomes a nuisance having to remove it (especially as the Main field has a non-obvious empty paragraph at the beginning).
* Following on from above, allow empty tabs. It may not be necessary to fill all places for all pages. As a further refinement, the ability to tag an entry field as required (so must have content) or optional (so can be empty). This could be in addition to or (my preference) in place of the existing 'content not found' error.
* A (PHP level) signal to show that content was not available to render (e.g., a field is empty or a redirected tab is not available/missing/empty). Perhaps something like the return value seen in many of mvlcek's I18N_ series plugins, where return true indicates successful output. See for example the function outputContent in i18n_base/frontend.class.php and the mention here. This allows quick and elegant logical content selection.
In all, I think this plugin is much more useful than might first appear (to the doubters). Although its features can already be achieved by other means, it is really easy to use and certainly fits well with the ideals of GetSimple, imo. Thank you.
Edit: typo.
