You know, I am going to have great trouble remembering which way round these are; and it's also not going to be at all obvious to someone seeing it for the first time.
The rationale is that 90% of the time, you want, say, HTML, and you want to accept anything. So you can look in the Formatter::HTML::* modules using Module::Pluggable or something.
I could imagine the opposite: if I'm given something in a particular format (e.g., Pod), I'm willing to accept a variety of relatively interchangable outputs (e.g. plain text or HTML for viewing online, PDF or HTML for printing) but I absolutely *must* understand the source format.
Plus, swapping input and output makes my brain hurt. :p
