One example is use of separator elements for schema versioning and
extensiblity support. Because of XSD unique particle attribution rule
such patterns is one of the most reasonable ways to deal with version
and extensiblity. Then it's annoying and error prone if xml/object
mapping technology insists on populating all the dummy elements by hand,
even though it could be done automatically.
For more details see use of <bc:delimiter/> on the last xml fragment
