I have gone to record about this before. So let me do it again, I
prefer to be able to convert between ALL levels and versions (and yes
that if it does not cause too much trouble even a conversion to 1.1
could be attempted). Translating this view into a number, this would
mean that I'd have to go with 1). Of course we don't like invalid
models and so all violations should be logged to the ListOfErrors to
be fixed later.

If indeed we go with option 3, then ... as you might have guessed from
my answer above ... yes please allow me to ignore some of the checks.
