It ought to be conditional, but there's usually not much harm in 
including #children that aren't rendered.  The consequences are things 
like:

- #isolate: blocks and so on in the unrendered children will still be 
in effect, even though the children aren't visible
- those children may still add parameters to the URL
- those children may add unneeded scripts and stylesheets

And so on.
