that got me over the hump..
..altho' I found a few other ref.s that were [more] helpful
a comment or two on your Wiki page, then those ref.s
:
I know I came to this page outside of any context that might be assumed..
(ieg: going thr' the tutorial)
..but for me, anyway, it would've been helpful to state what the problem is up front.
(ie: "this is hard, bec. xmlBeans doesn't directly support _____")
Some characters show up weird on my screen
(Wds XP Pro, IE 6.0.2900...)

re: xmlBeans learning / tutorials in general:
I tried to dutifully read what I was able to find..
(in order to learn stuff relevant to my problem that - the preferred - way)
..but I didn't find anything starting from the top-level of the site
If the wiki tutorial is different, it'd be good to advertize it somehow

&
http://xmlbeans.apache.org/docs/2.0.0/reference/org/apache/xmlbeans/XmlObject.html
...but even given all that, it was still very difficult to figure out what to do.
It may be significantly due to my/our trying to get too much mileage out of xmlBeans w/o enf knowledge of xml in general.
(altho I though I had a lot! ;-)

Subject: RE: Sequence of <any>, Writing
Could someone please post some example code that shows how to actually
do this (your "But using the lower interfaces XmlCursor or DOM, elements
and attributes can be added, removed or modified, in the right place.")
To get off the ground, suppose I have an XmlObject, A, that I want to
...
in effect, .add() ... to another XmlObject, B.
Looking through the available methods - for both XmlObject and XmlCursor
- I didn't find anything at all promising..
..and trying to punt down to Node, I couldn't figure out how to get from
the world of xmlBeans to the world of DOM.
(or vice versa)
How do people live w/o an ability to do this stuff?
How is it that it doesn't come up so often that there's already info on
your site on how to deal w/ it?
(We were presented w/ a schema that calls for this; we can't change it.)
(additionally: Is using <all> always/often a bad / suboptimal idea?)
Thanks,
-- M.
