If the framework doesn't have a method name for one of the conversion directions, that probably means there's no one good way to perform this conversion. There may be no way to perform the conversion, although it's strange that they would be marked related, then.

I just don't think that's correct. The person who is seeing the error is most likely not the person who wrote the attribute, in which case a missing selector means that that conversion can't be performed.

Maybe we should have people explicitly write "0" or "NO" or something for missing pieces?
