That looks like a bug to me.  Even if the XML file were not valid
(for example, if minOccurs="1" and the element were missing
completely), I'd prefer that the generated code
parse the XML instance document OK, and leave it up to the user to
use xmllint or some other validator to detect that error.

It looks to me like that call to re.sub should be protected by an
"if:" statement or a "try:" statement.

Give me a bit of time to look at it.

OK.  I looked.  Attached is a quick patch.  This patch, in effect,
assumes that it is not an error to have an element was character
content is of type xs:token and the character content is empty.

I'll look at this more closely, tomorrow.  If you try the attached
patch, please tell me what you think.  Have I solved the right
problem, for example?  Can you think of examples for which this
would not work?

And, thank you for the error report.

Dave
