XML data coming as an instance of xsd:anyType is unmarshalled into an object
of org.w3c.dom.Element.
To marshal, create an object of a class implementing Element. JAXB uses
apache.xerces.internal.dom.ElementNSImpl re-packaged into com.sun.org.
You can easily verify this by writing an XML file containing
<Bob><foo>...<bar>...</Bob>
and unmarshalling it. Analyse the object returned from Bob's parent with
getBob().
This object (or any other org.w3c.dom.Element) can be set into Bob's parent,
and it'll
marshal.
