I think the 2 options you listed are good, but i think the intial idea could work too. It could work similar to how a dwg translator works. Developers could provide with their library parts a translator in xml format that simply lists which parameter changes to which. ArchiCAD wouild provide their own for the supplied library parts.
Although i do agree it could take some time to convert a entire project if the time Cadimage add-on is anything to go by. Perhaps a more efficient built-in converter could be more efficient.
Whatever the solution is the ultimate goal is to create a library parts that do not have to be renamed with the ArchiCAD version when they are essentially the same libary part.
