Thanks for the suggestion Dennis. I have also used it to generate
client code via CXF (which defaults to JAXB), and didn't fail on
generation of code as well.  Haven't looked at xmlbeans or jibx yet.

I also got errors  about "unexpected subelement" when calling the web
service, but it was for completely different types/elements, not on
the "partnerMessageOption" field which had the embedded space.

I'll see if we can come up with some scripts to verify element names
for these stray spaces.
