I have no idea, that's why I said I can't give you the code. I can only tell 
you what it has to do.

The attributes would be inside the <AttributeValue> element and it would have 
no content.

That would be the other option, the one that's actually an xsi:type of your 
custom type.

I would guess that since AttributeValue is of anyType, you'd have to use the 
XSAny object set to construct it by itself. Or you'll have to, as Brent said, 
build a custom class set that handles not only the child element's type but 
also the type represented by an element with that element as a child.
