I am in favour for consistency. Maybe the refdata is going to be
updated in HepData as well. I don't see a good reason for having
empty bins in the ref-data. In other cases, like the ALPEH_1996,
there are bin missing which should be zero bins as well, following
the logic of the curent Hepdata version of the JAD_OPAL refdata.
Maybe the zero bins are a relict of a conversion tool.

I also didn't get that svn message.
