I would rather have a separate migration tool than to actually provide the ability to deploy older versions of JBoss. Or even better, deployers that actually tell you what is wrong with the XML you're deploying rather than getting some barf from a DTD validator or XSL transformer. Old code should be getting simpler and smaller with age as it gets refactored. I get a little wary when I see people writing abstractions for the simplest of things.
