compatibility break warning
hi,
we're about to commit changes that affect how custom nodetypes are
stored internally. this will break all custom_nodetypes.xml that
contain default values containing names.
see http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-92 for more detail.
we try to minimize the changes that will render existing repository
content or structure invalid. but a this stage of this project, we
should pose design over compatibility.
what is the general feeling about this?
cheers, tobi

btw: in 0.16.4 of the spec a couple of methods and node type definitions
were renamed. i guess that those changes will have an impact on the
xml node type serialization format too.

No worries until after the spec is published as a final draft
and we can do a 1.0. We should break early and as soon as needed.
