Is the meta-data for the literal case or for all cases. I would prefer that the meta-data would support both. Therefore an element needs to have a qname for literal and encoded. (Or perhaps one qname and a boolean flag indicating that it is either qualified or unqualified.)
I also believe that if meta data is generated for a bean, then meta data should be generated for all of the fields. A mixture of meta data and introspection is error-prone.

No, that is incorrect because we're using literal XML here. The schema defines those elements in the target namespace, and they should thus be qualified. > So I contend that the meta data is also wrong for _OID. Nope, though there are clearly some problems if the XML isn't being serialized/deserialized correctly. --Glen
