One of the rules for serialization is [1], "For each element containing a value, the type of the value MUST be represented by at least one of the following conditions: (a) the containing element instance contains an xsi:type attribute, (b) the containing element instance is itself contained within an element containing a (possibly defaulted) enc:arrayType attribute or (c) or the name of the element bears a definite relation to the type, that type then determinable from a schema." One of the possibilites is that this element has an anonymous simple or complex type. In this case, there exists no name for the type. If so, it is not possible to use the xsi:type atttribute such that the wire representation is self-describing. Or, is there any other rule that covers this scenario indirectly?
