Since MuseScore is able to hide all measures in a system which are empty, it would be logic to be able to persist this feature out to MusicXml.
This can be done, quite simply according to Michael Good (of MusicXml), by adding the following to the first measure to be hidden :
<attributes>
<staff-details print-object="no" />
</attributes>
with the following when the measures are to be displayed again :
<attributes>
<staff-details print-object="yes" />
</attributes>
See forum entry "Hide Empty staves - persistence into MusicXml" for the source of this issue.

Issue title corrected
It might get complicated though.
What about the MuseScore option to not hide staves for the first system?
Then there is this case: #43916: Exceptions to hidden staves for specific systems
Hope the title is better?
Or how about this?
Any update on this feature ?
Apparently not...
