I think this is a fundamentally bad idea. I use LyX with XeTeX a lot these days and it's definitely nice to be able to distinguish between Unicode and the LaTeX way of getting certain characters. If one does a big switch like XML, that is precisely the moment to think about such conceptual changes as well. Otherwise, trying to induce some kind of incremental mode of transition is more likely to confuse things and introduce intermediate instabilities than anything else. Philipp
