What would you like to see most in JAXB?

I've been working on 'Bob', an XML / Java binding tool, for a while. I've taken it far enough so that it's useful and reliable in sizable projects. There are a few more features, like implementing XPath lookups, that I want to add before I move it to beta. But I also want to know what other neat toys and features do you guys want to see in a tool like this.

JAXB is an architecture with a reference implementation. Bob supports full XML Unmarshalling / Marshalling, Visitor pattern, and example XML-based Java models. But it does not support some JAXB features like  code generation from XML Schema, Relax, or DTDs. There is also no explicit support for Web Services.

Are there some features in JAXB you guys want to see? Should Bob be a lightweight JAXB implementation? Are there some things in Castor and XMLBeans also, that people want to see?

This project is open for your participation. If you want to see any of these features or see a better, faster Bob, just let me know and I'll add you to the project. I'd love to hear your feedback.

Cheers
