I submitted AASTeX just after 1.0.3, so it has been forgotten. Besides, I
would be much more excited about it if my pet \citet/\citep mechanism were
implemented; I think that is a serious deficiency in LyX for use with
AASTeX, and thus the AASTeX stuff is more of a toy than a real paper
writing tool (sorry guys). I hate telling people "Yeah, LyX is great for
writing astronomical manuscripts, but you still have to do citations by
hand because LyX only knows about \cite." If the citation stuff were
"fixed", I would be generating e-mail to the AAS in Washington, DC, and
asking them to officially sanction LyX for use in writing papers. I just
don't feel right about doing this in its current configuration.

Perhaps I should play Imperious American Capitalist Pig and offer a
monetary reward for the implementation of such a feature ...
