Sorry to reply to myself, but I have an update on the problem.  The
SchemaType seems to contain only annotations that are defined at the
top level of the schema.  In my previous example, placing the
xs:annotation immediately under <category> works, but the occurrence
under <name> is ignored.  Is this a bug in XmlBeans?
