There is no way for two separate lists to maintain the ordering of elements
in the XML document. The XML Schema says: here comes a mixture of this and
that, and that's what JAXB is bound to deliver.
You can easily write a generic method for extracting a List<This> or a
List<That> from a List<JAXBElement>.
