Returns: null if the wildcard is not allowed on this element.
As of 2004/08/17, the spec only allows you to use different element names when a property is a collection, but I think there's really no reason to limit it there --- if the user wants to use a different tag name for different objects, I don't see why this can be limited to collections.
So this is a generalization of the spec. We always allow a property to have multiple types and use different tag names for it, depending on the actual type.
In most of the cases, this collection only contains 1 item. So the runtime system is encouraged to provide a faster code-path that is optimized toward such cases.
Returns: Always non-null. Contains at least one entry.
Returns: null if the wildcard is not allowed on this element.
Returns: must be null if not collection. If the property is a collection, this can be null (in which case there'll be no wrapper), or it can be non-null (in which case there'll be a wrapper)
This method is only used when this property is a collection.
Returns: Always false if getXmlName==null.
