The @XmlElementRef can't be there because then the parent class would not be
correct.
But as <ArtistRole> seems to be clean, one should think that it is possible
to map this element separately and correctly in the first place; all of
these follow the mishmash from the parent <DisplayArtist>.
But working with Lists of JAXBElements isn't nice anyway - is following the
javadoc's advice not possible for you?
