That's something that struck me superficially looking at XAML. I.e.,
they're "just" using class names as the element names where it's more
usual to use feature/property names for the elements. Of course for
attributes, people always expect feature/property names, but for
elements often people are surprised that the element name isn't a type
name. That becomes more obvious when the same type of object can play a
role in more than one feature. Of course if you have a single
containment feature (as in window parenting), you don't have this
problem and it seems quite natural to use types for element names,
especially when it allows you to avoid using "xsi:type" or defining a
plethora of substitution group elements to avoid xsi:type...
This works nearly all the time.
But to create a Text inside a Group becomes a problem since Group has
setText().
To handle that rare case, XSWT has an <x:children> meta-node. So you
can write:
<group>
<layout x:class="fillLayout">
This is like xsi:type I assume. Think of how you'd do this in JSON.
It's important to have this information early...
<x:children>
<text x:style="BORDER">
</x:children>
</group>

One question on your code: how do you make the difference between
property "layout" and child "label"?
