One of the problems is that you then have to have a way to specify the contest-specific header and possibly deal with different data in the file depending on the contest.
I normally use the N1MM contest logger for contesting, but there have been a few times when I hadn't intended to participate in a contest but figured I'd log a few contacts in D4W, then later decided to submit a log. What I did was to export my contacts in ADIF, import them into N1MM, then export the Cabrillo log from there. It worked fine, and while it was another few steps, it wasn't really a big deal.
