There is an ongoing effort to "unify" the usage of XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX, i.e. recent versions of fontspec and unicode-math support work in a way you can use the same document with both engines. My description would be along the lines: Since TeXLive 2010 you can also use LuaTeX with LaTeX documents exported for the XeTeX engine (make sure *not* to load the "xunicode" package). Also, documents intended for XeTeX/LuaTeX should use the "polyglossia" package instead of "babel" for language support. AFAIK, is not yet implemented in LyX 2.0. Günter
