> the "new" Field interface creates a bridge between the parser and the rest of the code. While the bridge could expose potential in fact it expose lack of consistence and unintuitive interfaces where you don't know if you are dealing with raw fields or parsed fields and some code ends un parsing already parsed fields.
> Maybe we'll reintroduce a common interface later, but for now I much more prefer to remove cycles and to have much clearer contracts about what is returne/used by the stream parser and by the dom.
