Actually, that could be a good thing. Each pallet *.lxf file is just an archive containing BRICK*.CHUNK part files. (The model *.lxf files are archives each containing a MODEL100.MODEL file.) If a converter is ever programmed, it could make keeping track of which files are official and which are converts much easier, as the converted parts would be in a separate archive.

What will make converting files much more difficult is the “automatic Lego connections” feature. The connection data would have to be added to each part converted individually, so you probably can’t expect a program that will instantly convert parts without any user input.
