Right, I think you're missing something big.  textconv is a display
filter.  clean/smudge convert between internal and external
representation (and your clean/smudge scripts could take care of CRLF
themselves if desired).

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if clean/smudge filters don't do
everything you want.  If you do go that way, please keep the list
posted so the mechanism can be improved.

And longer term, maybe people will want something tailor-made after
all?  I just imagine it would be more productive to try out the
generic mechanisms first.
