We have some flexibility through the use of JAXB adapters mechanism. So the 
Filter interface doesn't need to be an exact match of its XML representation. 
As 
for unmarshaling data written with a previous version, I don't know. For sure 
it 
is an essential capability for a gtxml parser, but our intend was not to 
replace 
gtxml.

Which cleaning is required for those?

Yes we realize that.

I would be fine with that, but we have not yet reached this level. We are still 
working on the basic blocks which come before more advanced structure like 
features.

We already started to investigate that. As said previously, we have already 
setup Mercurial mirrors:

we are slowy exploring the potential of them.

Thanks a lot Jody for your wonderful work of holding the community together.
