We have perfectly fine ly parsers of each available version available in executable form from lilypond.org. What we do not yet have, is a handy or integrated way of dumping the music tree with the original binary [read: a nice web service -- this could possibly be integrated with a mutopia revival, I'll be looking into this] reading the music tree with the current version and a perfect ly-dump function. Eg, I think we may want to preserve %-comments in the music tree, or other stuff the user does not want to lose?
