The whole point in trying to stabilize the v4 POM is so that there will not be a proliferation of parsers and converters. For the v4.x there will only ever be additions. Period. If we much something up then we can replace the bad elements with something better but leave the mistakes and deprecate them over years. That being the case there won't be any converters because it will all be additions. And because we will only be dealing with additions any subsequent versions of the generate model tools will know how to deal with past versions. Moving from v3 -> v4 is the only real chore we have to deal with. It will be simple because we're only going to do additions. And we can only do additions to the model as it's the only way we're going to have long-term stability. -- jvz.
