    Description copied from interface: ReferencePropertyInfo
    
    Returns the information about the possible elements in this property.
    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.
