Description

At some point we need to migrate to another mapping method

XML
this would keep the mappings separate from the Entities, but ugh XML

PHP Attributes
this would move the mappings back into the Entity but might be easier to work with than XML

Done means agreeing on one replacement mapping method and migrating the existing mappings without losing entity behavior.
