[flexcoders] Elements with xsi:nil="true" attribute are being sent if property is null.

[Bonogram]

When calling Web Service Elements with xsi:nil="true" attribute are
sent if property is null and response comes back as null. This is not
a documentation error rather product error. Any help will be very
appreciated.

An example is below:

Here an applicant has one to many relationship with question. When
applicant is instantiate, flex builder instantiates all associated
object and set it to nil. When the response comes back from the Web
Services call Flex Builder sets question to null.
