On your XML (corrected for markup), the following XSL shoukld illustrate the
idea:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:template match="node( ) | @*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node( )"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="td[count(text()) = 0]">
<td>
<xsl:text>__NOTHING__</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</td>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
It uses an identity transform to copy everything verbatim, except for empty
<td> elements, which are filled-in with default text. You should be able to
use some variation of this for what you ultimately need.
Of course, we were lucky here in that we could specifically match empty td
elements. Things would not have been quite so easy otherwise. For example,
XSL doesn't have a provision for invoking a template on a non-match--there
was a thread about just that about 2 months ago.

<page>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<content>
<h1>Example</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>Something #1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Somthing #2</td>
<td />
</tr>
</table>
<content>
</page>
And it will convert it to the following:
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<h1>Example</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>Something #1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Something #2</td>
<td />
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<body>
</html>
But how can I use apply-templates to obtain the following?:
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<h1>Example</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<td>________NOTHING!_______</td>
<td>Something #1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Something #2</td>
<td>________NOTHING!_______</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<body>
</html>
