-------------------------------------

Just adding a little bit of information regarding differences between any and xsd:anyType:
=====================
xsd:anyType is a type, like xsd:integer (though xsd:anyType is special in that it can act as a simple or complex type, and it places essentially no restrictions on the tree that it validates. 
A sample use would be:

        <xsd:element name="e" type="xsd:anyType"/>

This would mean that elements named <e> can have any content, any 
attributes, etc.

xs:any is a wildcard, usable as a term in a content model.  For example:

        <xsd:complexType name="T">
        <xsd:sequence>
                <xsd:element ref="A"/>
            <xsd:any />
                <xsd:element ref="C"/>
        </xsd:sequence>
        </xsd:complexType>
 
Elements of type T must have content <A/><???/><C/>, where <???> can be any named element. 
==============================
My thinking is to implement anyType using the support we have for any.

> Axis/C++ currently doesn't seem to allow me to send the typename of a complex object down to the serializer.  This is causing problems when trying to serialize a 'derived' object, as the server cannot identifiy the correct derived type without xsi:type.
