Instead the following XML document should be produced:

<customer>
    <name>Jane Doe</name>
    <address>
        <city>Any Town</city>
        <street>1 A Street</street>
    </address>
</customer>

Comment 8 Blaise Doughan CLA 2010-10-26 14:16:53 EDT 
Fix checked into trunk at rev:  8412

Code reviewed by:  Matt MacIvor

Summary:
Instead of just checking for the element name corresponding to the property type, we now check for the element names of the property type and all subclasses.
