Yes :-)  agreed.   Though it depends what you mean by 'simple',
because the data-fields provided by one format do not necessarily
map one-to-one to those in the other.

There is my Perl CPAN module:
  http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?MIDI::SoundFont
  http://search.cpan.org/~pjb/MIDI-SoundFont-1.08/SoundFont.pm
which may be worth a roadtest...
I was intending to use it to write a gravis <-> sf converter,
and may still get around to this, but some data has to be thrown
away in the translation, either direction.

I would rate SFZ-on-fluidsynth as a _Very_ Low Priority.
I'd much rather see a few more controllers (filter?) supported,
and the ladspa-plugins etc.  Is there a roadmap ?
