Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 [attachment:17115.7.diff] is a rollup of previous patches

 * When users publish a post with empty title/content/excerpt they get an
 error message saying they need to add content.
 * Saving post drafts with empty fields works fine and these still can't be
 published.
 * Respects the `wp_insert_post_empty_content` filter.

 Screenshots

 Publish a post with blank content fields: shows an error message, post is
 not saved:

 ----
 Save a draft with blank content fields: success, draft is saved. Post
 still can't be published:

 ----
 Adding the filter to enable publishing of blank posts works as expected.
 `add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_empty_content', '__return_false' );`
