After you update the java representation, one must "validate" the Java
representation to be sure that the modifications were "valid" using
javax.xml.bind.Validator.
Marshalling does not perform validation. Marshalling can work
on invalid content. It is up to the user to decide if they
wish to validate their modifications or if they want to skip
that step.
