I essentially am trying to do something like this with my extension 
function:

String extensionFunction(String inputXml)
{
    MyObject x = new MyObject();
    x.unmarshal(inputXml);
    return x.someComplexOperation();
}

So I want the extension function to parameter to be an XML string, not 
an escaped XML string.
