/**
 * Wraps a generic value (possibly a list entry), extend it with specific value types
 * with "value" field as XML attribute (annotated @XmlAttribute).
 * 
 * Uses @XmlSeeAlso to tell JAXB all of its possible implementations,
 * which information is used to serialize generically typed
 * SoaNodePropertyValue fields (provided they are annotated by @XmlElementRef).
 * Alternatively @XmlElementRefs({ @XmlElementRef(name="string", type=SoaNodeStringProperty.class), ...
 * put on all generic references (i.e. SoaNodeProperties/List(Property).value)
 * could have been used, but this requires less configuration and is closer
 * the the spirit of inheritance.
