To have these defined as LaTeX (be it character styles, acronyms or
abbreviation), is something I would be against. I do not want LyX to
be any more (La)TeX specific than it already is. To be able to import
these kind of definitions might be good though.

We need to translate them into some LyX specific format.

Naahh... not unless we have to.

Abbrevs, acronyms and character styles will not be settable from the
preamble... unless you also use ERT of course...
