I'll grant you that you'd have to add  
decorator="my.path.to.my.Decorator" to each tag, but why can't you  
just put this in one decorator and apply that to all the classes?

Even a find/replace operation should do the trick... if you have  
something that supports regex, find/replace <object (.*) /> with  
<object $1 decorator="my.path.to.my.Decorator" />, if not, then do a  
find/replace on <object and replace it with <object  
decorator="my.path.to.my.Decorator"... should be functional (if a  
little ugly) and you can reformat your tags as you touch them while  
working on the app.

Honestly? It's the best way to go that I can think of.
