I'd say for the simple types that if the complex type is just an extension
of the simple types to add attributes and it can't find a binding then it should
unmarshall as the simple type.

Something like:
1) Real Complex type - error
2) Complex type extends simple - try to unmarshall as simple type if it can't find the model class
3) Plain simple type - as now

Maybe you could add an option to the schema to enable the (2) processing
for backwards compatibility?
e.g.
SchemaBinding.setUnmarshalSimpleComplexTypeAsSimpleTypeWhenNoMapping(true);

Although, if the intention was really to map to a real type its going to be raised
as an IllegalArgumentException on the setter anyway.
