The solution proposed is the bridging classes?

My code is just implementing both paradigms in each plugin, and I factored
code into helper methods where I needed to. Plus I don't configure plugins
from outside, I self-configure them.

I would say the concern about the Spring configuration is valid. Anything
can be done, but I know Tom was trying to avoid custom parsers. It's
pretty custom I think to do the parsing in a context-sensitive manner
based on the parent element or whatever.
