Assuming that is the correct interpretation, it would be a useful tool to help users of those programs to migrate to Scribus. And from reading this list a long time, the biggest need is for Publisher files. Having said that, it may be a demanding task. What happens when the Publisher/InDesign/QuarkXPress file contains tables created in those apps? I could mention a lot of other features that would be hard to translate into Scribus, especially considering that the other file formats are closed source and proprietary. Why would Adobe, Microsoft or Quark assist in creating a tool that would help their users migrate away from their product.
