So after talking a look at the xml package again I noticed the UnmarshalXML trap. So I used that. Here's the solution I went with.
I wrapped the decoder in a recursive decent parser to make the actual UnmarshalXML method readable. https://play.golang.org/p/dylYB0KsyL It uses an example from the OpenGL registry where you can see that parameters use mixed content. They annotate the base type "ptype" and "name" but the rest is left as text (or so called chardata).
