Daniel- Have you looked into the MarshalListener interface? Looking at the Marshaller code, the listener is notified before and after each element is written to the output "stream" (term used loosely). So it's quite possible you can grab the <root attribute key=values> based on the pre-marshal event on your first <a> element (not ideal, but might be functional).
Let me know how it goes, this might be an interesting topic for a Castor HOW-TO document.
