Yes, this is something I suggested at some point when we met in 
Farnborough: the metadata provider (JPA, ProtoBuf, etc) should be wired 
to the persistence SPI so that clever things can be done at that level. 
This can also be applied to the compatibility layer, so that I can turn 
a ProtoBuf representation into JSON or XML for example
