/**
        Concrete subclass of xmlobj_context which allows create to return
        a generic object.
        
        This needs to be subclassed so that all other objects can be registered.
        
        You can use this class as a direct replacement for "xmlobj_context", 
        and when you do, you can create new objects that are not registered
        as part of your XML object. Sort of like a generic DOM.
