Perhaps Pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) would meet those
requirements. It uses a great parsing library with a syntax that greatly
resembles a BNF grammar. An output module is already written for org-mode,
so writing an input module would allow us to convert from org-mode to any
other of the existing Pandoc output formats (including "plain text,

been thinking of doing this for sometime now, as
an exercise in learning Haskell, but realistically I just don't have the
time. does anyone else have the time?
