43 * As of 2004/08/17, the spec only allows you to use different element names
44 * when a property is a collection, but I think there's really no reason
45 * to limit it there --- if the user wants to use a different tag name
46 * for different objects, I don't see why this can be limited to collections.
47 *
48 * <p>
49 * So this is a generalization of the spec. We always allow a property to have
50 * multiple types and use different tag names for it, depending on the actual type.
51 *
52 * <p>
53 * In most of the cases, this collection only contains 1 item. So the runtime system
54 * is encouraged to provide a faster code-path that is optimized toward such cases.
