The annotations are out-of-date, they would need updating to the JAXB annotations.

Unless you know of a way to unmarshal two seperate files into one object mode
simultanously? :-)

I'm assuming that even if JBoss (during deployment) doesn't 
use the information then somebody else might. Maybe even in their own deployer?
It also allows for the object model to be changed (programmatically) 
and remarshalled back to the xml - something that's currently impossible
(at least for org.jboss.metadata) because the parsing is not reversable.
