I agree, it *is* a cool idea. When I played around with allowing latex on
wiki pages in order to write equations, I thought about this. The problem
is unfortunately the same -- security.

Since the lyx file can contain ERT, and I think you can do most anything
with latex, you leave a big security hole :-(

To be honest though, I think the risk of being hacked via latex code is 
small...   using a chroot:ed environment might be enough, I don't know.

Anyway, it is a cool project and I'd be happy to help in integrating it 
with the wiki if that seems like a good way to do it.
