I would like to know if there is any process involving exporting all LyX
documents to SGML. I believe it follows from the basic principles of
editing with LyX that one does not necessarily need to concern oneself
with the output format - only the structure of the document. That means
that even if a document has not specifically been set to be a linuxdoc
document and that SGML cannot represent everything, LyX should still be
able to export to it, just as it exports to ASCII (I also noticed that
URLs aren't displayed properly when exporting to ASCII).

Even if SGML doesn't have support for all the tags available in LyX it can
support quite a wide range of them. It would be very nice indeed to be
ablt to type out a document once, and then export it nicely to
good-looking ASCII, Postscript and SGML (and HTML) all with a few clicks
of the mouse button.  In this sense making LyX into a generic text
processing tool.
