Empty XML nodes incorrectly serialized/deserialized #449
Description
Seems like this zeep issue is impacting Ad Manager:
mvantellingen/python-zeep#923
Specifically, video line items with an empty requestPlatformTargeting. Reading one of these and sending it unchanged in an updateLineItemsRequest fails with NotNullError.NULL @ targeting.requestPlatformTargeting

@christopherseeley Is there any update on this? I am experiencing this same issue.
My job is fetching line items and pushing them back up, this property is not changed though yet I'm getting this error.

As a workaround, you can explicitly set an xsi_type for these line items and zeep will correctly serialize it:
For background, an empty
<requestPlatformTargeting/>node gets deserialized toNoneinstead of the RequestPlatformTargeting wrapper object. The workaround coerces zeep to serialize it back as:<requestPlatformTargeting></requestPlatformTargeting>.
