I like the idea.  Regarding the information lossage, would it make sense
to declare a single recommended common format?  Application filter
writers would be encouraged to support conversions of their application
formats to and from this format, or to/from an intermediate format for
which the conversion doesn't lose any information in comparison with the
direct conversion of the application format to/from the common format.
