Hi, I've been working on this problem with Luis. Unfortunately it doesn't seem that Xerces does what we'd expect in this case. In all cases, calling getAnnotation() on the XSElementDeclaration returns NULL. I've tried enabling fgXercesGenerateSyntheticAnnotations, and also tried enabling fgXercesValidateAnnotations just in case. I've verified that fgIgnoreAnnotations is false. No luck.
The other problem we have is, in addition to the extra non-schema attributes, we also want to read the normal annotations on the schema. In the example Luis provided, there's an <xs:annotation> element on the <xs:complexType> for this global element Employee. But, as above, getAnnotation() on the XSElementDeclaration returns NULL. In this case, I would think that makes sense, as the annotation is on the complex type, not the element itself. However, there doesn't seem to be any getAnnotation() method on XSTypeDefinition, which is the only reasonable path I can see.
