Hi Carlos --

yep. ;)   Good point, we really should have a plugin API for new
formats, but for now we don't.  However, looking at SDF, I'd be happy
to add a support patch into CVS if it's similar to the Textile
support patch -- I'd recommend taking a quick look at the CVS
history online for FormatConvert.pm to get an idea how that worked.
