I'm definitely in favour of bringing forward as much code from v2 as is possible without sacrificing what we want to achieve.  Second system syndrome is always a risk to be watched out for.

....So long as the isn't an 'impedance mismatch' between the old and the new way of doing things.  As we discussed earlier this week we can often do a little in the new code to keep the parsers' complexity down.  We can address other cases as we come upon them.
