Another, a more serious problem, in leaving anonymous types is
the potential code bloat. Consider, for example, this schema:

<element name="foo">
  <complexType>
    ...
  </complexType>
</element>

<complexType name="bar">
  <sequnce>
    <element ref="foo"/>
  </sequnce>
</complexType>

<complexType name="baz">
  <sequnce>
    <element ref="foo"/>
  </sequnce>
</complexType>


Here both bar amd baz will have their own copy of anonymous type foo
generated inside each class unnecessarily duplicating the code (XSD
will warn you about this situation).
