IOW, even those who want to create a custom cache store should follow the same pattern of providing their own XML schema parser for their config, configuration builder files…etc. That gets rid of the problem altogether, and by checking the type of the cache loader/store, we can figure out whether it's read-only, write-only or read-write (assuming we keep the interfaces separated).
