What are the chances of calibre supporting conversion from eReader

Hi calibre team,
What are the chances of including eReader as a conversion format for calibre? As of late FW has been doing a good job promoting their format. The constant 5% discount is also making the format attractive. It would be great if calibre supported this format.

I've played around with the eReader format is very similar to the zipped up HTML format calibre can convert. The only real difference is that eReader uses the PDB database structure and a PML file instead of an HTML file. The only thing calibre has to do is extract the images, extract the PML and convert PML to HTML and it will have support.

Looking at the PML syntax is is very basic. Here is a link the PML syntax (link).

It seems very basic compared to true HTML, it should not be too hard to convert PML to HTML. I believe there are tools already that do it ETools for example. (EReader2html does not do a very good job)
