Wrapping xml-fragment into AnyDocument looses runtime type information

Question

I would like to store a fragment of xml in a database. However, to stay XML compatible,
I don't want to have <xml-fragment> tags. To avoid this, I attempt to "wrap"
the xml-fragment inside of an AnyDocument using the following code:
private static AnyDocument wrap(final XmlObject o) {
final AnyDocument anyDocument = AnyDocument.Factory.newInstance();
final AnyDocument.Any any = anyDocument.addNewAny();
any.set(o);
return anyDocument;
The problem, is that somehow my runtime type is getting lost after the wrapping
occurs.
Here is how the data looks BEFORE wrap (o.save()):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xml-fragment xsi:type="loc:AddTermRequestT" xmlns:loc="http://www.overture.com/service/common/local"
xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:dis="http://www.overture.com/service/display">
<loc:accountId>1123223ZZZ</loc:accountId>
<loc:term>dog</loc:term>
<loc:price>0.55</loc:price>
</xml-fragment>
Note that in the above XML the runtime type is set as: xsi:type="loc:AddTermRequestT
Here is how the data looks after I attempt to wrap it with AnyDocument:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:any xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:dis="http://www.overture.com/service/display"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:loc="http://www.overture.com/service/common/local">
<loc:accountId>1123223ZZZ</loc:accountId>
<loc:term>dog</loc:term>
<loc:price>0.55</loc:price>
</xsd:any>
The runtime type is gone and it's not clear how to parse the new XML.
Am I doing something wrong? Why does the runtime type go away? Is this the correct
way to "warp" some fragment with a valid document.
Again, the intent here is to store something to the database that a different
tool can understand later.
Thanks.

Use:
xmlOptions.setSaveOuter();
