  The LyX file format is evolving to a state where we can have a migration to 
an xml based file format. The only drawback is mathed but I think that we can 
have that as the only exception.

  LyX already export MathML, so this is not a particulary difficult issue. I 
know that we should fine tune it, but I did not have the time to do it 
properly as only few tools support it. So better for us wait and see where 
MathML goes.

  We are factoring some of the common work, so that a new xhtml format would 
be a one wok effort if we decide to. The same applies to html if you have not 
ert.

  Honestly the only problem I remember was with \maketitle that wasn't working 
properly and that I had to do by hand. In Chemnitz I talked with Jean-Marc 
about it and I think it was fixed already. Is this true?
