The specification says conversion is "implementation-defined." Which means: do whatever you want, we are not going to help you.
Honestly, I think we should support both. An optional prefix or suffix that indicates which convention is in use. N: for Nisan-first, T: for Tishrei-first. Or some such marker.
This is how language tags work. You can say "en-US" or "en-GB" and the system knows which English you mean. Why not "5784N-01-15" and "5784T-07-15" for the same date?
