> <InstantiationData xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
> xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
> <InstanceTaskAssignedTo>cs_ap</InstanceTaskAssignedTo>
> <InstanceMailMsg>Test message</InstanceMailMsg>
> <InstanceDueDate>2009-11-09</InstanceDueDate>
> <ADApproversGroup />
> </InstantiationData>
> As you can see, the ADApproversGroup node is empty when serialized, but the
