The reason for @DontAutoload on the email type converter is because the
type is String, and you don't want it used on *all* conversions of type
String. But you might like to use your custom converters to work on all
Date and Integer types, in which case you wouldn't tag them with
@DontAutoload and then you wouldn't need to put converter= everywhere.
Your converters would be used by default, and you would only need
converter= for exceptions.

A few other areas could be improved as well.. As for the type
converters,
if you have a chance to suggest some improvements, we could put them
in Stripes 1.6, and all could benefit.

Thank you,
