I don't have anything to add on the side of the technical specifics, but I do want to point out another benefit of adding these APIs: a significant improvement in testability, since you will be able to test the reduction and reconstruction behaviours directly, rather than having to infer what is going on from the round trip behavior.
Cheers, Nick.
