TEI is an archival format. I doubt it is suitable for LyX. Like Pavel, I'm very dubitative of a move to an xml format. If you look the wordprocessing xml initiatives, they have all been failures (docbook, xml-fo / xsl-fo, xmltex). Odf succeeded more because of Microsoft's hate then anything else. Xml is slow to parse, the text is buried in very noisy formatting information and is difficult to hack. In my opinion, history has proved it is not adapted for wordprocessors. Lyx final product is LaTeX / XeTeX code. Why not keep a format that is parsable subset of LaTeX and can easily evolve when more and more LaTeX features are added to LyX.
