That's only my opinion.  If others agreed it, please go for it.

Another option is adding check routine like as $FreeBSD$ tag
checking.  Display warning message if *.sgml files contains blank

Yes.  We can use entity references to represent white spaces.  To use
them, we don't need "only white space" line in *.sgml sources.
