I don't agree. What is always fixed is the target format. That's what you 
want. You never have a file and say "hey cool, what can I convert it to?"

But maybe we've just different views.

Also convertFrom:xxx will blow up the services table because every supported 
format have to be registered.

What now. Playing Ching Chang Chong? :-)
