Description
When you create a custom block, neither the title nor the body are required, only the description. Blocks without content don't show up - which means you can put the empty block in a region, and there's no indication of why it's not there.

Related to #402662: Block validation allows empty title and body, it might make sense to merge these 2 issues.

Reviewed the patch and found no problems. I've read the handbook pages on Blocks to make sure they don't talk about custom blocks without body content (which they don't), and I don't see a valid reason for having a custom block without body content, therefor RTBC...

Makes sense to me! :)
Committed to HEAD. Thanks!
