Without any doubt it is a good idea. However I personally would
find even more useful to have available the opposite functionality.
That is being able to convert a WP file (MS?) or whatever is called
into a "groff -m?" input file. Most times is groff people having
to edit these yucky files. "Mswordview" does a decent job in
extracting plain html from these files, but I believe that
getting groff instead would be great. Just my $0.02...
