I guess you can achieve this with a custom PrePostSet extension ? Jacob Danner just posted a link to an interesting article: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-xmlbeanse/?S_TACT=105AGX54&S_CMP=B0201&ca=dnw-904
Would it work to restore the oldValue when the newValue is null ? Or even better: to return false from the postSet method ? The postSet method returns void according to http://wiki.apache.org/xmlbeans/PrePostSetFeature but in the article it returns a boolean ?
