The problems in converting LaTeX usually come from third-party packages. When only a restricted set of packages is allowed then it is quite straightforward. This is the reason many publishers require latex, even if they don't use LaTeX internally (which is often the case). They convert LaTeX to the XML dialect that their in-house layout system understands.
