My response wasn't anything other than an answer to your question. What 
you're interpreting as annoyance is me posting the tersest amount of 
information I can to answer the question, becaue that's how I answer as many 
emails as I do and still get work done.

Marshalling it should change what getDOM returns, but that aside, you 
wouldn't add them as DOM attributes, there has to be an interface on the 
XMLObject for dealing with the XML attributes directly. In C++ it's 
AttributeExtensibleXMLObject, but I don't know what it is in Java. The sample 
Brent sent should answer that question.

I think if you use XSString you probably wouldn't get what you need. XSAny is 
the catch all and should allow adding of attributes.
