Craig L Russell commented on JDO-709:
-------------------------------------

[~tilmannz] suggests that the term "convertible" would be clearer than 
"converted" when referring to the field type of a persistence-capable class. An 
instance of a convertible class can be constructed by converting a database 
value, and a database value can be constructed by converting an instance of a 
convertible class.

This terminology change makes sense to me.
