Can you write it so it works from the BBEdit Unix Filters script menu?
Is there a particular reason you want to use the Unix Filters menu?
If you can make clear what problem you are trying to solve, we may be
able to provide a more specific/suitable answer.
For example, to convert the front document into something readable,
the best way is probably via AppleScript. (It requires a small hack
to close and reopen the file since there is currently no other way to
get BBEdit to reload the file contents via script.)
tell application "BBEdit"
set f to file of document 1
close document 1
end tell
set pf to POSIX path of f
set commandString to "plutil -convert xml1 " & quoted form of pf
do shell script commandString
tell application "BBEdit"
open f
end tell
