There should be a getter/setter for the attribute.
If there is not one, this is a bug in the beta. Attributes are
not part of the content model represented by the
content list.

Yes. Since text information can occur before and after element information
in mixed content, the best that JAXB could do by default is represent
the content as a list of text and element instances. The specification
states that the text is represented as instances of java.lang.String and
that element content is represented as instances of javax.xml.bind.Element.
The reality is that mixed content is more document-centric than it
is data centric. Data maps well to JavaBean instances; however,
marked up text does not since it is well-ordered. JAXB
can do no better than DOM does in this case. The content
list represents the content as an ordered list of text
information (java.lang.String) and element children.

The java.util.List is an ordered list of elements and tex
