It worked the same as your suggestion above. In cases the variable is used it does works as intended but in the situation the variable is not set it's still sending data: just with a blank value.
When I tried playing with omit in the template editor I got an error about omit being undefined so probably not built in. Bummer because that would be a very elegant solution to this. I'm going to put this down for the night and try picking it back up tomorrow. I really appreciate all the suggestions. Hopefully it will lead me to a solution.
