That's a problem...

This can be done with some hideous macros, but the result will not use
the intended syntax.

You can use 'KeepEmpty 1' and instruct the author to leave an empty
Acknowledgements paragraph, but this looks a bit weird.

Unfortunately, I do not have a good solution for any of these
problems.
