[Xml-compile] Examples of code for handling anyType elements with complex typed sub-elements?

Hi Kingsley,

It seems that your email got stuck at the mailinglist provider
for 8 days....

Complex and ugly.  Not the best combination.  Modern schema's use
substitutionGroups for this.

XML::Compile usually does understand AnyType's with some help.

Good question.  The opts_rw are used in both cases, opts_reader and
opts_writer options in only one.

By default, the anyTypes in the received message get decoded when
their type is known in a schema.  For writing XML, it is more
complex.  You need to create XML nodes separately.

There are many uses of this in other modules I wrote.  For instance,
lib/XML/Compile/WSS/BasicAuth.pm sub prepareWriting() shows it a few
times.  You probably do not need that sub{} which I create at the
end.  I hope it is enough to understand the process.
