title: Simple-framework ignores empty XML elements in list
body: <p>While deserializing a simple list of strings Simple Framework just ignores empty tags and includes only non-empty values. How can this be fixed?</p>
  
  <p>I want this XML part</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;type&gt;
      &lt;inflection&gt;&lt;/inflection&gt;
      &lt;inflection&gt;&lt;/inflection&gt;
      &lt;inflection&gt;example&lt;/inflection&gt;
      &lt;inflection&gt;&lt;/inflection&gt;
      &lt;inflection&gt;&lt;/inflection&gt;
      &lt;inflection&gt;&lt;/inflection&gt;
      &lt;inflection&gt;&lt;/inflection&gt;
  &lt;/type&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to produce an array with 7 elements where the 2nd one equals to 'example' and all others are empty strings or nulls. Instead I just get a one-element list.</p>
  
  <p>My <code>Type</code> class looks like the following (it is a part of bigger hierarchy, therefore it has no <code>@Root</code> annotation):</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Type {
      ...
      @ElementList(inline = true, entry = "inflection")
      private List&lt;String&gt; inflections = new ArrayList&lt;String&gt;();
      ...
  }
  </code></pre>
