one possibility could be of course to define a lyx-specific LaTeX macro

in the "author style" case, one would generate smth. like \lyxauthor{}

different way depending on the style that is being used.
Well, in some cases this is already done, but to me that is the wrong
approach. I would like to see special-casing being done at the LyX level
in the .layout files, not at the latex level.
Most cases where LyX defines \lyxinternal macros are workarounds for
latex syntax which is unsupported by LyX. Less and less of these should
be needed as support in LyX becomes available. For example the LyX
layout language now has basic support for \macros[with]{lots of}{arguments}.
