Thanks for your feedback
Your request is more of a RFE (request for enhancement) than a bug.
An alternative workaround to changing the schema is to customize one of
the two
elements to have a different jaxb property name with the <jaxb:property
name> customization.
Once all the children elements in a sequence have a unique name, the
databinding will revert to binding as you desire.
To answer your question on the correct place to query and report bugs,
try out

You can search existing bugs/rfe for JAXB in bugparade by keyword
or bugid (if you know one.)
