I thought that the original name was too generic, i.e, String MBR/MBW
are also String converters, albeit from IS/to OS.
I would not too upset :-) if the original name were restored. I like
'Param' bit because it suggest the provider is about customizing the way
parameters (aka parts of the request URI and headers - the one which
have associated JAX-RS param annotations, like PathParam, etc) are handled.
Bill, by the way, the (header) delegates are for handling
valueOf/toString static calls, so there won't be conflicts.
In the end of the day I'm fine either way
Cheers, Sergey
