my vote is for this solution.
I think we need a standard for all about this topic and 952 is OK.
And I don't like modification in the API for this type of work (conversion
and migration).
My experience is that every migration is unique and same specific software
work is a must
for a quite good migration.

So best solution 2, with good documentation to implement a a new code o to
modify
a present one.

In the future a specific API for convertion ?
