Part of the problem there is JMX isn't versioned. Or really specified at all.
It's a de facto format that arises from the [voodoo] serialisation of the test
plan's root ListedHashTree of JMeterTreeNodes. (Please, DO correct me if I'm
wrong; even a bad spec would have been useful months ago.)

In my mind, this is the major motivation for a test plan DSL: retain support
for the "legacy" JMX as much as possible (read and write), but otherwise have a
clean break that lets the project move forward sanely.
