> Currently, Maven parses the settings.xml in strict mode, making it error out upon occurrence of any tag that it does not understand. This makes co-existence of different Maven versions on the same machine more difficult as a user employing some newly added settings elements can't use the same settings.xml for old Maven versions.
> In principle, unrecognized elements don't hurt and can be safely ignored. The only benefit from the strict parsing is to tell the user about potential problems/typos in his settings.xml. This can however also be realized by warnings instead of errors.
