### ToDO remove maxOccurs "unbounded" resolves to -1 hacks after bug 177 is fixed

"""

More documentation later, but here are some special Python attributes
that McLane recognizes:

name: __xmlname__
type: string
description: the name of the xml element for the marshalled object

name: __xmlattributes__
type: tuple or list
description: the name(s) of the Python string attribute(s) to be
marshalled as xml attributes instead of nested xml elements. currently
these can only be strings since there's not a way to get the type
information back when unmarshalling.

name: __xmlexclude__
type: tuple or list
description: the name(s) of the python attribute(s) to skip when
marshalling.

name: __xmlrename__
type: dict
description: describes an alternate Python <-> XML name mapping.  
Normally the name mapping is the identity function.  __xmlrename__
overrides that.  The keys are the Python names, the values are their
associated XML names.

name: __xmlflattensequence__
type: dict, tuple, or list
description: the name(s) of the Python sequence attribute(s) whose
items are to be marshalled as a series of xml elements (with an
optional keyword argument that specifies the element name to use) as
opposed to containing them in a separate sequence element, e.g.:

myseq = (1, 2)
<!-- normal way of marshalling -->
<myseq>
  <item objtype='int'>1</item>
  <item objtype='int'>2</item>
</myseq>
<!-- with __xmlflattensequence__ set to {'myseq': 'squish'} -->
<squish objtype='int'>1</squish>
<squish objtype='int'>2</squish>

name: __xmlnamespaces__
type: dict
description: a dict of the namespaces that the object uses.  Each item
in the dict should consist of a prefix,url combination where the key is
the prefix and url is the value, e.g.:

__xmlnamespaces__ = { "xsd":"http://www.w3c.org/foo.xsd" }

name: __xmldefaultnamespace__
type: String
description: the prefix of a namespace defined in __xmlnamespaces__ that
should be used as the default namespace for the object.

name: __xmlattrnamespaces__
type: dict
description: a dict assigning the Python object's attributes to the namespaces
defined in __xmlnamespaces__.  Each item in the dict should consist of a
prefix,attributeList combination where the key is the prefix and the value is
a list of the Python attribute names.  e.g.:

__xmlattrnamespaces__ = { "ag":["firstName", "lastName", "addressLine1", "city"] }

name: __xmlattrgroups__
type: dict
description: a dict specifying groups of attributes to be wrapped in an enclosing tag.
The key is the name of the enclosing tag; the value is a list of attributes to include
within it. e.g.

__xmlattrgroups__ = {"name": ["firstName", "lastName"], "address": ["addressLine1", "city", "state", "zip"]}
