  I'm not sure what two entities you are referring two.

   Two filters?  I can see the case for not cluttering the KEGG format with
html filters.

   Two modules?  There may be no need for a separate WIT module because the
10 ( filtered ) WIT files are accepted by the KEGG parser.  And the WIT
documentation claims to be using KEGG format. Of course I need to take a
close, byte by byte look to see if any problem lurks in the details..  So
WIT may just need a preprocesor consisting of chained filters.
