Nando,

We've done very much the same thing in most cases... however it has  
lead to conflicts and confusion in some cases because things like  
<property name="userID" /> were reasonably converted to relationships  
and broke other code that had to then be fixed. This was in part  
because there's more than one dev on this project and it's our first  
major project with Transfer, so we had some of our own kinks to work  
out. OTOH, even working on your own it can be really hard to remember  
which properties you used as properties and which ones you are  
converting to relationships as you get further and further in.

So I guess I'd suggest a similar approach with the proviso that you  
need to document which properties are "safe" as relationships and  
which ones aren't...
