48            <li>We don't envision having all teams converted to new APIs but should
49              at least be educated on how to convert their code. It is up to the individual
50              teams to 1) determine whether or not they want to convert their code
51              and 2) to actually change their code.</li>
52            <li>Note that although all plug-ins in the SDK are not required to convert
53              their parsing, it is necessary that at least the plug-ins defined to
54              be a part of the Rich Client Platform (RCP) perform this transformation.
55              Reducing the size of the XML plug-in shipped with the RCP (3M for Xerces
56              vs 25K for XmlPull) is a big big win.</li>
