I has been overwhelmed with your magical works! It is really cool.

Then, here are some points I have noticed related to XmlQualifiedName:

* When I tried to serialize XmlQualifiedName as nullable element
  (IsNullable=true), MS.NET (my environment is 1.0) reports an 
  error that it cannot be nullable. I think, it is because 
  XmlSerializer should ignore XmlQualifiedName.Empty (and those 
  which equals to Empty), and to do so, IsNullable is in the way.
  It also prevents me from deserializing my simple xml schema stuff
  (emptiable XmlSchemaElement.RefName).

* I failed to deserialize XmlQualifiedName as an attribute.
  I attached my fix. (It is apart from XmlCustomFormatter, since
  qname deserialization is tied to XmlReader which contains 
  existing namespaces.)

With your recent fix, I think it won't be so long to become
able to deserialize XmlSchema. (it is really nice example,
rich in XmlAttributes. ServiceDescription class is also.)

Thanks,
