Extensibility
The vCloud API is designed to be extensible. All complex types defined by the API extend a single abstract
complex type. This complex type and all types based on it can include zero or more instances of an extension
element that can contain an arbitrary number of elements and attributes.
VCloudExtensibleType is an abstract type that all complex types defined in the vCloud API namespace
(http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1) extend. This type allows custom attributes to be added to any type and
supports definition of custom elements within the VCloudExtension element.
The VCloudExtension element has an attribute named required that specifies how clients and servers
proceed when they see unknown extension. The required attribute is optional but if omitted is assumed to
be present with a value of true. That is to say, all VCloudExtension elements are assumed to require a server
that understands them.
