I don't know about others, but I know a lot of people who work with latex, very few with lyx. We also send out papers in latex. It's very difficult for me to do the work in lyx as I need to incorporate their changes that were done in latex somehow, and preferably do it without copying them over. The best solution would be if I could import the latex document back into lyx and then compare the two lyx files, although of course there are a lot of differences due to importing special stuff (don't remember sepecifics at the moment but I recall that a lot of things import as ert). I would even settle for just a proper tool to merge two lyx documents, most everything else can be achieved that way. Another nice things would be to be able to diff against version control (if the previous is possible then this will be a subset also)
