The law will probably use words like "reasonable" and "common". While legal language is supposed to be as precise as possible, it is fine to be as vague as necessary, too.
In practice, I'd expect exporters to export in a format that doesn't cause them huge contortions, and importers to write the converters. Any lawsuits about unreasonably obfuscated formats would be quite messy, but maybe it's time for the legal system to handle questions of software adequately anyway.
