Hmmm. Via the node model? Unless you do it textually, it's likely to
lose information, like formatting (and the formatter is quite bad)

That seems quite wrong... Where was this code located?

The bodies are Xbase expressions, so yes, we depend on Xbase also doing

textual language one should focus on transferring the full text,
