I think it would make a nice add-on to the DynaBeans implementation
classes to have ways to preconfigure them from XML input. However, I
believe that this should be a feature of an implementation, rather than
getting baked in to the fundamental DynaBeam API contracts.

Conceptually, it makes some sense, although JAXB seems to be focused on
generating "standard" JavaBenas that match the format of the XML data.
Alternatively, we could consider adding an XML configuration format (as
you mentioned above) as addressing the need that JAXB addresses.
However, my biggest concern is what version of JAXB you do this for -- the
final release may or may not look anything like the Early Access release
that has been made available, so it might be a little premature.
