Ah I should note this. The only incompatibility I see with the new Jelly tags is wrt. existing custom validators. Any XML handlers written for the old tags would have to be reimplemented as Jelly tags. It's not a difficult task (it takes less than a few minutes in most cases), but it does break compatibility. Existing Validator classes should work unchanged.
