Is this really a bug? If I remember right Geoserver is behaving in the
same way and does not send empty attributes.  WFS standard obviously
believes that users are reading the schema first with
DescribeFeatureType request.  Of course this is often very unpleasant,
for example when sending just GetFeatures with wget or browser or
something like that. At least I would rather get also the empty
attributes included in GML.
