29 Sep 2008 10:19AM ETNot sure what you mean by deleted. Do you mean that the field was there in one version of the template but not in anotherone? Or do you mean that the value of the field is not there anymore in a particular stream? Or do you mean something else?
If it is the value that is not there anymore, you should mark the field as having optional presence in the template and then you encode NULL when you don't have a value.
If the field is not in the template anymore, then there is no formal way of expressing it (other than leaving it out obviously) and you have to convey this fact by other means.
