What do you think of the following MonkeyPatch to skip complex types with a None value?

from suds.mx.literal import Typed
old_skip = Typed.skip
def new_skip(self, content):
    x = old_skip(self, content)
    if not x and getattr(content.value, 'value', False) is None:
        x = True
    return x
Typed.skip = new_skip
