Yeah, any elements that require linking are probably out of scope for conversion. I haven't seen enough examples of the new BootstrapperApplicationData usage to have any better ideas.

I have another problem, there's no way for WixCop ("wix convert"?) to know whether a CustomTable element was for BootstrapperApplicationData unless it's the element that defined the table.
