There is a number of publishers and journals that provide LaTeX styles
for submissions to them. May be these institutions can be convinced to
support LyX by posting LyX templates, too. These may be delivered by
persons who have submitted contributions in that style and have
developed a LyX template for that case.
In general --- in my opinion --- LyX should support the standard LaTeX
styles and, maybe, some fancy extras that are very useful. I assume
that the "ordinary" user of a word processor or text setting system will
be served well by that. It might be a good idea to maintain a web site
where special templates might be stored for later use (together with
style files necessary for that), but I would not recommend to overload
the standard LyX distribution by catching every case that might be
useful for someone sometimes in the future. And, by the way: You will
not be able to catch all eventualities...
