Binding nested classes generating a new nested class called 'Type', how can this be prevented

Question

I have an XSD (that I cannot change) that contains these elements defined in a complexType's sequence element:

<xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="precision" nillable="true">
      <xsd:complexType>
                   ...
      </xsd:complexType>
 </xsd:element>
 <xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="Precision" nillable="true">
      <xsd:complexType>
                    ...
      </xsd:complexType>
 </xsd:element>          

When I run xjc over the schema, I get exceptions over the name conflicts in the ObjectFactory and the nested classes.

To attempt to fix this, I added this external binding for mapping the fields to unique names and classes to unique names:

<jaxb:bindings node="//*[local-name()='element' and @name='precision']" schemaLocation="schema.xsd">
    <jaxb:property name="precision1"/>
    <jaxb:class name="precision1"/>
</jaxb:bindings>
<jaxb:bindings node="//*[local-name()='element' and @name='Precision']" schemaLocation="schema.xsd">
    <jaxb:property name="Precision2"/>
    <jaxb:class name="Precision2"/>
</jaxb:bindings>

This enabled the generation of the JAXB classes but, the classes get generated like this:

 @XmlElementRef(name = "precision1", namespace = "namespace.CustomerInvoice2", type = JAXBElement.class, required = false)
protected JAXBElement<CustomerOrderDate.Precision1> precision1;

    protected final static QName NAME = new QName("namespace.CustomerInvoice3", "precision");

    public Precision11(CustomerOrderDate.Precision11 .Type value) {
        super(NAME, ((Class) CustomerOrderDate.Precision11 .Type.class), CustomerOrderDate.class, value);
    }

    public Precision11() {
        super(NAME, ((Class) CustomerOrderDate.Precision11 .Type.class), CustomerOrderDate.class, null);
    }


    /**
     * whole bunch of comments...
     */
    @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
    @XmlType(name = "", propOrder = {
        "precision",
        "use"
    })
    public static class Type {
         //The actual fields

BUT, if I manually change the field names to precision1 and Precision2, the classes get generated as:

 public static class Precision1 {

    @XmlElementRef(name = "precision", namespace = "namespace.CustomerInvoice2", type = JAXBElement.class, required = false)
    protected JAXBElement<Integer> precision;
    @XmlElementRef(name = "use", namespace = "namespace.CustomerInvoice2", type = JAXBElement.class, required = false)
    protected JAXBElement<String> use;
    @XmlAttribute(name = "mark")
    protected String mark;
    @XmlAttribute(name = "mode")
    protected String mode;
    @XmlAttribute(name = "invalid")
    protected Boolean invalid;
    // blah, blah, blah...

I was curious if there is a binding that I could use that would keep the QName values in the root class's field declarations and keep the Type information within the generated class.

Based on this answer and the tutorial JAXB - Java Architecture for XML Binding.

You only need:

<jaxb:bindings node="//xs:element[@name='precision']/xs:complexType" schemaLocation="schema.xsd">
    <jaxb:class name="Precision1"/>
</jaxb:bindings>
<jaxb:bindings node="//xs:element[@name='Precision']/xs:complexType" schemaLocation="schema.xsd">
    <jaxb:class name="Precision2"/>
</jaxb:bindings>
