Description

Elements that are marked optional in wsdl schema. e.g. profile field in:
<complexType name="User">
<sequence>
<element name="profile" type="someComplexType" minOccurs="0"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
<element name="User" type="types:User"/>

Produces (inside SOAP body element) on the wire:
<User>
<profile xsi:nil="true"/>
</User>

Since the profile schema element is not marked as nillable="true" (only
minOccurs="0") it would (at least) save bandwidth to just drop it altogether:
<User>
</User>

[Both formats already work for deserialization.]

Andre
