Problem with element defined with xs:any

[Jim McMaster <ji...@comcast.net>]

Using xmlbeans-2.0, although I get the same result with 2.1.  

I have defined an element in a schema as follows:

<xs:element name="blackBox">
   <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
         <xs:any minOccurs="0" 
                 nameSpace="##any" 
                 maxOccurs="unbounded" 
                 processContents="skip" 
         />
      </xs:sequence>
   </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

I am feeding the compiled schema definition to an XML generator.  The
element contains content passed to us from a third party, and it may or may
not contain valid XML.  In any case, we do not have a definition for it.  I
get it back as a String, and need to write the String out as content for the
blackBox element.

When I compile the schema, the SchemaType generated shows a content type of
3, or org.apache.xmlbeans.SchemaType.ELEMENT_CONTENT.  The XML generator
only writes out the value if the content type is NOT_COMPLEX_TYPE ||
SIMPLE_CONTENT || MIXED_CONTENT.  Having it defined as ELEMENT_CONTENT means
the generator only outputs elements.  

I am not familiar with the innards of the compiler, but it seems to me
ELEMENT_CONTENT is the wrong thing here.  I believe it should be
MIXED_CONTENT.  Should I put in a bug report?  Or does anyone have a
workaround?
