I've written up the main requirement as http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5045 - which I was reminded of during today's UIO strategy conversation today with Justin, Yura, Cindy and Anastasia - in order to improve the ModelRelay system as Anastasia has written up as http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5024, we first need to supply a system whereby we can freely mix model transformations documents with general IoC material. This is currently not possible as a result of the ambiguity in meaning of "expander" which has an unrelated implementation in the two systems.

The exact keyword used will be configurable as an option to the ModelTransformations system, enabling us to support old documents if we require (in particular until the next GPII release cycle).
