It definitely requires analysis on a case by case basis. However, having helpers that do conversion lazily also have performance issues if the method gets called repeatedly, unless you cache the converted data (which has its own complexities). Generally, a good thing to aim for is that recent versions don't require conversions and older version conversions into the latest format are done only once. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
