Since this didn't seem to make anyone scream, I have committed a version
that implements this behaviour :

http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/treebind/treebind/src/org/treebind/JavaObjectSink.java

(revision v1.2).

The next feature I'll need for accepting these arbitrary data in the
ability to define kind of binding wildcards (similar to xs:any W3X XML
Schema components).

Right now, we can bind XML namespaces to Java packages and for each
element or attribute name in one of these namespaces, TreeBind tries to
bind to the corresponding class in the corresponding package. 

What I am proposing now is to bind all the elements and attributes of a
namespace or a set of namespaces into a specific class.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Eric
