* not resolve cycles in the object graph. This will make use of the
* specified class attribute to resolve the class to use for a given
* element during the deserialization process. For the serialization
* process the "class" attribute will be added to the element specified.
* If there is a need to use an attribute name other than "class" then
* the name of the attribute to use can be specified.
