I think one generic way of doing this would be a custom xjc plugin (these plugins hook into the code generation and allow to modify 
the generated classes in memory before they are written to disc). It might be possible to add additional type specific getters for mixed content 
nodes this way. 

I am not saying that we should do it and it is worth the effort, just saying that this might be a possibility :-)
