yes it feel right and even elegant :-) s/he may want take a look on XSUL 
where i have done precisely this using XPP3 OM (API that is directly 
based on XML Infoset) to have WSIFMessage directly extend XmlElement and 
allow all XML content to be put in WSIFMessage so no problems for 
sending attributes or anything described in XML Schema with WSIF API 
(there are many other improvements to WSIF that i prototyped as well)

best,
