XStream sets up quite some aliases for the types it handles (see code of
XStream.setupAliases()). Normally you have a 1:1 relation between alias and
type, but you can define 1:N. At marshalling time multiple types will be
represented then with the same alias (this is what XStream.aliasType does
for a type hierarchy), but at unmarshalling time the last definition is used
to "convert" from the alias to the type again.

Jörg
