In this case, how is this done?  (i.e. What would the builder/addition of 
this type look like in terms of putting together an attribute containing it?)

This is an interesting one, but my <foo:Bar> type has no content, only 
attributes (e.g. <foo:Bar param1="foo" param2="bar" />).  What would that 
look like in this case?

I don't think I can instantiate an AttributeValue object so that anything can 
be added.  I have instead been instantiating the type that I want and using 
the AttributeValue element name along with my type.

Can you specify how it can be done?
