Looks as if we (I at least) could use a phrase-specific pre-processor statement where we could declare a specific parameter value to be a "missing" value. The phrase generator could then do its job as if the parameter was not specified.

Danny, that is not the problem. I replaced <unknown> by <protected> some time ago in my version of the dictionary and I'm specifying "(unknown)" as name when I really don't know it. The string "<unknown>" is used here in this example when the name of the person is removed due to GenoPro privacy rules e.g., when the person is still alive. That has been default GenoPro behaviour till now.
The issue is with the readability of the phrase. In short, if you don't want people to read it, don't print it. It makes no sense to print "omitted, omitted, omitted, ...". Just don't print it. But what would be the correct rule? Maybe we need to rephrase this in something like "their children were bla, bla, bla and the identity of the others is not disclosed for privacy reasons" or something similar?
Just asking.

In this case, instead of <unknown> I suggest <Private>

This is the result of a little test with version 2.5.3.9 & 2011.07.23 but earlier versions would probably have generated the same result.
One of my test families contains following family:
All members of this family, except for Charles (the father) and Diabolo (one of the sons), are alive. When checking the privacy check box which removes the living individuals, the following result is produced:
Although I would prefer "Charles and wife were married ..." I can live with the start of the sentence but - in this case - I would really like to cut it off after "three sons and two daughters". Is this feasible? What would be the "golden rule"?
Note that the text "<Unknown> and <Unknown>" is missing in front of "... are twins".
