That was one of the goals for ObjectModelFactory API. Although the parsing code based on that we currently have is quite messy...
Taking the SchemaBinding maybe it would be possible to write custom particle handlers or add a better support for this to XB itself.

There could be something like an adapter to hide structural differences between the XSD and the Java model.
But I guess you were trying to follow the XSD structure in Java object model and keep it as close as 1-to-1?
