Would it be helpful to think about digital image preservation? It
seems to be a similar problem structure to what you are talking about.

E.g. There is a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netpbm_format which aims

a "Portable pixmap" and then reconvert to to another format.

Maybe a commonly agreed upon Abstract Syntax Tree, between various
lightweight markup format?
