Andre' (our new mathed guru) could probably comment more intelligently
than I do, but the main problem AFAIK is that LaTeX (and thus LyX)
does not have enough structure for some things. For example, if you
write
  x = ab
macsima/octave/maple will have to guess that there is an implied *
between a and b. Similarly for
  x = \int_0^1 f(x)dx
