The raw text data will be "", but the mixed complex type 
(if it is interested in it) might want to
do some kind of value adapter processing on it?

All I'm saying is that for a mixed complex type

  | <blah/> is the same as <blah></blah>

which should pass "" through the @XmlValue setter processing.
