Gabriel and I had a discussion about this before and I have run across
it recently as well, the question of wether a type can be anonymous.
The javadoc on ComplexTypeBuilder says name *must* be set before calling
build(). I think we need to relax this restriction and allow people to
have types will no names. I guess my only example of such a case is an
xml schema element which defines its type inline.
If agreed, the question is how do we represent it in our model. With our
TypeName / AttributeName system we can do it in a couple of ways. We could:
1. Just set the name to null
2. Create a name object in which both the local name and namespace uri
are noth null.
I like one better, I think it makes it simple for client code to check.
