No, I think that's a valid assumption. Or at any rate, if Tite is being 
used by conversion vendors, a prima facie requirement for the vendor 
should be the ability to create the proper environment for using it 
properly.

It's just that in my experience, making things as simple as possible for 
conversion vendors = reducing one's own headaches (because Murphy's Law 
always applies).
