Review Comment:
   In the `mdo` file you can specify a bunch of types and you can specify (xml) 
nesting.
   
   If you cannot specify the entire thing in there (like in this case because 
all custom Version Policies will have currently unknown config options) you 
either end up with
   - it being a `string` which means you have to CDATA the config which results 
in a very bad developer experience, but it does allow you to have any kind of 
config format you like (xml, json, yaml, ...) .
   - it being a `dom` which makes it an XML without schema. The effect is that 
an IDE can only assist you in making sure it is an XML (which is not validated 
other than having the open and close tags in sync). And the effect is that the 
generate Modello code says it is an `Object` which causes what I tried to 
describe above.
