I think there's hope that in the future people will rather require Open Doc Format files instead of Word. Then it would be great if Lyx could export ODF easily. Maybe the planned XML file format will help...?
Lars seems to be doing XML privately and I have no idea what he has in mind. It is not difficult to produce some lyx-specific XML format but it would be much better if this XML format can be used exchangeable with some other applications/standards like ooffice, docbook or even MS Word. I mean, if there are perfect output from some existing XML format, why not use it? Of course, my XML knowledge is close to zero.... Bo
