Segfaults in relation to attributes make me expect you have to upgrade
your libxml2 library.

Please put new questions in a new email thread, to reduce the chance
that I miss them.

On the moment, there are no helpers to achieve this.  Probably, I should
create an option to have these added.  It will be implemented as an
after-hook, which you can also make yourself:

   $schema->addHook(type => $mytype, after =>
      sub { my ($doc, $xml, $path, $val) = @_;
            $xml->setAttribute("xsi:type" => $mytype);
            $xml;
          });

Unconvenient when you have many types which you want to make explicit.
XML::Compile::SOAP::Encoding knows how to do it better.

I have to think about a better solutions, although you should not need
it when using schemas the usual way.
