This is an interesting idea, though not currently supported. The difficulty here is that even though the IMarshallable/IUnmarshallable interfaces are present in the common library jar class files, just having these interfaces present aren't enough - the mappings still need to be present in the actual binding data structures built into the binding factory class.
To make this work I'd probably need to have some way of telling the binding compiler that you're effectively extending a precompiled binding, and it would need to initialize some of its internal data structures on that basis. This could perhaps be done with an indication on the <include> element for that binding (or perhaps using an <extend> element instead of an <include>). So I think I see how I could make it work, but it's likely to be tricky and might have some restrictions on the binding being extended. Issues such as implementing mapping extensions for polymorphism might also be difficult. All in all, I'm not willing to commit to supporting this at present but can at least explore the possibility for 1.2. - Dennis Dennis M.
