Subject: [Simple-support] null variables and suppressing empty tags

I have an annotated class that has a null field like this:

@Root(name = "ContinuityOfCareRecord")
class Test1 {
  @Element(name = "ActorID", required = false)
  @Path("Patient")
  protected String patientId;
}

generating the XML gives:
<ContinuityOfCareRecord>
   <To/>
</ContinuityOfCareRecord>

Is there any way to automatically suppress the <To/> tag since there are no values under it?

Thanks!
