See Section 6.1.1 in the JAXB specification for details. A vendor specific
customization is not required to be implemented by all JAXB implementations.
The JAXB specification did not specify serialization as a feature because
it would be a major task to specify a serialized form between JAXB vendor
specific JAXB Java representations given the current specification's
lack of a common binding framework runtime. However, the JAXB reference
implementation can provide a Serializable capability as long as both the
serializer and deseralizer are using the same version of the JAXB reference
implementation and schema-derived Java representation.
