Oh.. I like this topic.
Another thing is the archiving. If you want to use a computer for archiving the
document, then what happens when you wish to retrieve the document after a few
years? If a few bytes are lost in your "non human readable file format" office
file, whay should you do then? The lyx file is still usable.
(As a side remark, if you don't trust electronical storage, then the final
document is made out of paper. Why should anyone care what tool you use to
create the papper?)
Another remark...
How do you search a hugh collection of office files?
$ grep "important word" *.lyx is quite usefull....
XML, docbook could be another solution, and I guess that there is plenty of
tools like lyx2xml, ....
Best wishes,
