Yes, that's the drawback of this approach. The alternative would be to
do something like this (using optional elements/attributes):

<set>
  <config>
    <sampling_enable><value>true</value></sampling_enable>
  </config>
</set>

<get>
  <config>
    <sampling_enable/>
  </config>
</get>

Or, if your values are of simple types, you can do:

<set>
  <config>
    <sampling_enable value="true"/>
  </config>
</set>
