Of course there would be, just as there was a conversion for the replacement of subpages with the talk namespace, and a conversion for the replacement of direct-URL images with the local upload space and [[image:]] links.
Limiting / stripping / segregating HTML now will be a huuuuge advantage in the future, when HTML is replaced by QLZML and nothing supports HTML anymore and we still want people to be able to read and edit the 10 million articles in Wikipedia. Much better to clean up our act now with a clean, well-understood syntax than when the burden will be much much greater.
I leave issues of particular table syntax to those who are interested in such.
