You can use a MimeMultipart instance. The AttachmentMarshaller and
AttachmentUnmarshaller implementation would get/set body parts on the
MimeMultipart instance.

Right, it is an important aspect of SOAP-based Web services, but for
RESTful Web services it is not so important, as there are better,
clearer and more efficient ways to transmit binary information.

It is definitely possible to write your own reader/writer to operate on
the media type "application/xop+xml" and a JAXB object type as we have
been discussing. However, i have strong reservations against mandating
that such support be required by JAX-RS implementations.
