Right. You'd pick transform_stories() if you wanted to use other story methods
and transform_stories_xml() if you wanted to delete stuff (or use XSLT, etc).
Once these are written, if someone really wants a transform_stories_hash()
method they could add it too.

You can always use both methods in your upgrade script to play on their strengths.
