Any time your list of exceptional conditions contains more text than the conversion itself, you have to start questioning whether 'automation' is even possible.
I spent time developing similar scripts (something like wordxml -> USFM) for single use cases. Doing the conversion was usually about 10 steps, but then dealing with the exceptions (both before and after the conversion) took 100+ steps. Without automation, the 10 steps was good enough. but not keeping a human involved, all the human decisions had to be mapped.
