Or more precisely, you tell it. When you write the schema that defines the 
configuration structure for your plugin, you express it as a <complexType> 
that has a name, and the xsi:type is "prefix:name" where xmlns:prefix is 
declared in the document to be your custom namespace.

http://www.w3schools.com/schema/default.asp is a pretty good schema tutorial.
