Description

One of the big missing pieces for jf2 right now seems to be a standard algorithm for finding from mf2. Parsing HTML into mf2 is much more mature and standardized than parsing it into jf2, and many systems store mf2, so formalizing a conversion process would be useful.

May not be easy, since mf2 is so flexible and comes in so many shapes in the wild, but would be useful!
