I have committed the changes. I've also renamed applyToChildren annotation (since it hasn't been released yet) if you are using it. An example for your use-case would be http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/common/jbossxb/trunk/src/test/java/org/jbo... It's anonsvn link, so it may take some time before it becomes valid. BTW, I recommend you use propOrder element of XmlType annotation if you want your code to run in different JVM versions.
