If you’re suggesting ways to make it easier to use something like YaHPConverter with Tika, definitely yes.
If you’re talking about integrating this functionality…my personal view is no. I think Tika should focus on extracting content from documents, versus format transformations. Tika is an attractive location for functionality like this, since it sits in the middle of a lot of data processing pipelines, but I worry about a bloated code base, with corresponding challenges in maintenance and support.
