I've decided to attempt it: I'm a terrible programmer, but I found a fatal
flaw (from the perspective of AASTeX support) with the current approach.
AASTeX, as I mentioned, "provides" natbib. In order to get LyX to turn on
the natbib support, one must click the "use natbib" radio button (not
surprising). The problem is, turning on the button inserts a
\usepackage[author-year]{natbib} line in the temporary latex file. This
clashes with what AASTeX uses internally and borks the latex run.
Thus, the one feature I was really looking forward to in 1.2.0 (full
natbib support for AASTeX) doesn't work. Knowing that Lars is holding an
ax over the head of all the regular developers to only fix bugs (savage
Viking! :-), I thought I might coerce someone to fix this by submitting a
really awful patch, offending the sensibilities of all True Programmers,
and having someone submit a Pure Version.
But if someone would like to fix this before I submit my disaster, please
do. Maybe I can get it decreed a bug - since Lars thinks it is only 10
lines of code, it should be easy, right ;-). I should say, I had planned
to email bomb the American Astronomical Society publication department
with news of 1.2.0 when it is released to brag about the awesome AASTeX
support. LyX's current natbib trouble will mute that a bit.
