I have an objection to the use of bibitems in LyX: If you use BibTeX you
can choose the bibliographic standard such as Vancouver, etc, besides
the BibTeX sorts bibliography items in the required order acordingly to
the standard; with LyX's bibitems you simply cannot do this and is like
turning back to MS Office. Is this a bug? does some other guy hasn't see
this behaviour of the bibliography environment? For me it is clearly a
bug, but that is just my opinion. So I only use BibTeX right now.

Some publishers are willing to accept Lyx instead of Latex (MIT
press, for instance).
If authors knew that they have to handle Latex in addition to Lyx it
might
appear to some (many?) as too much to handle.
As I said, IF a journal wants LaTeX, then you just export to LaTeX. No
other special handling
is required, except possibly embedding bibliography information (see
below).
-/-I don't understand. They don't have to be in separate files. You
can just use the bibliography environment if you want.

If I insert/list/bibliography I just get a link to the bibtex
database, and the actual citation entries are not part of the file
that I can send to a publisher or a colleague.
There is a bibliography style, in the same place you choose Section,
Chapter, etc, so you don't have to use BibTeX.
We keep meaning to finish this bugfix that would automatically include
the contents of the BBL file on export. There is a simple script that
will do so attached to that bug, but getting it to work in the general
case is hard.
