I think the question is directed in the direction of developping some sort of lyx html app, with non-lyx based versioning... Although a full blown latex html application might be beyond immediate reach (html5 is powerful and versatile, but I'd sooner use svg than plain html for precision document layout), I'd imagine your question could be answered by reading up on the google drive api's versioning capabilities; lyx has built in versioning to my knowledge, so its theoretically all possible (not necessarily easy ;) ). I'd imagine if LaTeX wants to remain relevant in an age of primarily digital documents a development effort towards a cloud based "Wiki" TeX engine should come into existence...I hear Scribd does this for pdf?
