If the element has minOccurs="0" in the Schema, you should see a method like:
businessDescription.unsetBS7666Coordinate() If your minOccurs is 1, then you can still remove it, but you will need to use XmlCursor to do that. Anyway, IMO is better to change the existing element to what you want it to be. However, the fact that after setting the element to xsi:nil="true", this attribute doesn't disappear after setting the element to something else is disquieting and certainly a bug.
