 The type !PostalAddress has an attribute Slots according to the specification, but this is left out in the XSD. Likewise it's not there in the Java implementation.

+=== Attribute <any> in QueryExpression ===
+
+The type !QueryExpression has an attribute <any>, which according to the specification "is extensible and therefor MAY be of any type depending upon the queryLanguage
+specified. For SQL queryLanguage it MUST be an SQL query string. For Filter query it MUST be a FilterQueryType defined by [RR-QUERY-XSD]."
+
+In the XSD it is defined as follows:
+
+ {{{
+    <sequence>
+      <!--
+      MAY be any query language syntax supported. 
+      MUST support FilterQuery. SHOULD support SQLQuery
+      -->
+      <any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" />
+    </sequence>
+ }}}
+
+Now this is interesting from the point of view of the XML Binding. At first, I implemented the any attribute in Java as type "java.lang.Object" but it turns out this is not too easy with JiXB, because it doesn't know how to marshall/unmarshall that type. I could write custom methods for that purpose but then again, neither do I know what might be the actual type at runtime, so any attempt at customs methods would be a guess.
+
+I have defined it for the time being as follows: the any attribute in Java is of type "java.lang.String" and in the JiBX binding, I defined it as a CDATA value. Meanwhile, if anybody can point me to [RR-QUERY-XSD] which is not dereferenced in the specification, I'll try something better ..
