At least some of us are now discussing the possibility of formatting native LyX as standard XML, which, as I said in another post, is human hostile. Many, many of us interact with LyX files outside of the LyX executables or utilities. These users have an incredible interest in the native format of LyX. Don't think for a minute this is a developers only issue. What I find the biggest insult is the motivation for this possible disenfranchisement of LyX users dedicated enough to interact with LyX files in nonstandard ways. That motivation? To accommodate Word weenies. You've got to be kidding. Is this what free software has come to? Perhaps the most ironic thing is that if full XMLitization comes to pass, you know what I'll use Nico's XML converter for? To export my 7 LyX-authored books to XML, from which I can convert them to plain-TeX. SteveT
