In order to be compliant to the schema, I've got to eliminate an empty 
element tag (e.g. <element/>).

Using the customer example from the tutorial, if I use the following 
binding:

   <mapping name="customer" class="Customer">
     <structure name="person" usage="optional">
       <value name="cust-num" field="customerNumber" usage="optional"/>
       <value name="first-name" field="firstName" usage="optional"/>
       <value name="last-name" field="lastName" usage="optional"/>
     </structure>
     <structure field="address">
       <value name="street" field="street1"/>
       <value name="city" field="city"/>
       <value name="state" field="state"/>
       <value name="zip" field="zip"/>
     </structure>
     <value name="phone" field="phone"/>
   </mapping>

(Note there is no Person class, it's all on Customer).

The following XML is produced when customerNumber, firstName and lastName 
are null:

  <customer>
    <person/>
    <street>12345 Happy Lane</street>
    <city>Plunk</city>
    <state>WA</state>
    <zip>98059</zip>
    <phone>888.555.1234</phone>
  </customer>

How do I get rid of the empty <person/> element?

The real problem is with a B2B schema that I can't change.  Emitting the 
empty element causes the xml to fail schema validation.  Any tips?

Thanks
Steve
