Having another look on jaxb's UnmarshallingContext I found that the
errorCounter is a static field, so new UnmarshallingContexts won't help at
all with this.
From looking at where #shouldErrorBeReported is called it seems like
unexpected elements as well as unknown xsi types are just treated like
that. "Report them 10 times, after that just ignore them." So they are
considered kind of not that important and basically ignored at production?
Unexpected elements can just be ignored and unknown xsi types as well?
