Just to add my 2 cents here, may be a bounty system could work here.
Because, it's understandable that Joris doesn't have enough time to
write a converter and he would rather spend time to further improve
TexMacs that we have come to love. And also it's clear that an
accurate converter would help many of the writers, implying they would
not mind setting up a small bounty for someone willing to write the
converter for some of the commoner styles and contribute it to TexMacs
with a compatible license.
