You don't need that, at least for case.
An example for a table conversion code would be:
   for each line in file:
       if line begins with <LyXTabular, <features, <row, <column, or <cell:
          do the appropriate conversion.

The only problem with this is speed (doing the check for each line).
A faster solution is as follows:
while 1:
     find <LyXTabular
     find the matching </LyXTabular (*)
     for each line between the two lines above:
         if line begins with <LyXTabular, ...:
	      do the appropriate conversion.

(*) This step is simple
