I don't know if this will be of much help, but i frequently have to convert files in both directions, but usually from troff to tex. I set up macros with similar names to do similar things in each text formatter (e.g., .AU is equivalent to \AU) then do a conversion with a shell script or with VI. For the equations it is sometimes tricky, but moving them to a temporary file to do the conversion provides a quick and safe way using the methods I mentioned. Tables are a little more complicated, but often you can set them up so that a direct replace- ment of the tbl tab character with & is feasible. I don't know if this is any help.
