Hm, at least it's totally unimportant to non-Docbook users: the only common 
code which is touched is the refactoring of PreviewLoader, and I could replace
that by Copy&Paste.

Also it's a fix to bugs #1713, #1714, #1715 and #1716 -- oh, it looks as if
those are assigned to you, JosÃ! :-) 

Ok, Lars, 
as Chris' argues on his webpage ( http://www.karakas-online.de/mySGML/ )
LyX 1.3 is not usable for serious Docbook editing. The main reason is the 
broken Math support: no Latex code, instead unused MathML code.
We already fixed some deficiencies in 1.4.0cvs (drop MathML output for SGML, 
provide filenames, some escaping, other features). My last patch 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lyx-devel&m=110710201022468&w=2
completes this in using preview.sty to produce bitmap files for all equations,
thus not only providing the filenames but the files as well. 

Since these changes don't touch the non-Docbook users and LyX 1.2 was used 
by some (most?) Docbook users in favour of LyX 1.3, I think we should try to 
provide decent Docbook support for LyX 1.4.0.

Is this convincing?

Cheers
/Andreas
