Digester is a curious library, extremely well suited for some domains, 
but largely unusable in many. Let's not forget that it was originally 
developed as part of Tomcat, to translate the configuration into an 
object tree.

I think it might be accepted, but if you don't take care to clearly 
communicate the limitation of the digester approach, you risk many 
people expecting the wrong thing.
