Well, in JAXB, the generated classes represent the TYPES in the schema.   You 
can have JAXB also generate classes for the Elements (that would then subclass 
JAXBElement), but normally the generated code just represents the types.  The 
complexType thing above makes the customization properly apply to the type.
