Digester XSD processing query

I would like to use the digester to process XML defined by schemas.  The only problem is that the XML in question has elements that are defined in another namespace, which is known only at the time of processing.

Here's an example of the sequences I need to process

<complexType name="Component">
    <sequence> 
        <element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="properties" 
		     type="foo:PropertyValues"/> 
        <any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" 
             minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </sequence>
    <attribute name="name" type="NCName" use="required"/>
    <anyAttribute namespace="##any" processContents="lax"/>
</complexType>

<complexType name="PropertyValues">
    <sequence>
        <any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" 
             maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </sequence>
    <anyAttribute namespace="##any" processContents="lax"/>
</complexType>

Here's a sample XML snippet: 
        <properties>
            <v:currency>EURO</v:currency>
        </properties>

Anyone have any ideas as to how I would go about setting up the rules to process this mess?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Yes, most of the input XML is known.  It is designed with integration points in a few places.  I'll check out the NodeCreateRule - it sounds like this precisely what I was looking for.

Thanks.

Do you mean that the structure of *most* of the input xml is known, and
that just a few places it can contain any arbitrary xml? If so, you
could use NodeCreateRule to store those unknown bits as DOM nodes.

Or do you mean that the whole structure is really unknown until runtime?
If so, what are you planning to do with this completely unknown data?

Simon
