   > Do you mean that regarding providing the `TEXT` type as well to the 
builder? I only added that as means to preserve the functionality of the 
`not.found` relationship. With only `FILE` added, the validator prevents the 
processor from running if the file is missing. So there is no intention of 
adding free text support to this processor.

   If `TEXT` is added, then the implementation needs to change to read the text 
content, but I agree that should not change given the nature of the Processor 
itself.
   
   There are other components that use just `FILE`, do you have an example of 
where that fails with only that addition?
