No, not really. Let me ask you a question and suggest one possible solution.
Question: where (in your object model) would you like to store the value
of the 'redund' attribute.
Possible solution:
a) Store the attribute value in a property on the class
mypackage.sensors.IPMISensors, and use a location in the XML binding for
this attribute.
b) Create an intermediate class for <psSensors> that has two members,
one for the collection of PowerSupply#s and one for the attribute value.
