There's a wiki where this is discussed. I agree, XML is better, not
because XML is great, but because of tools like XSLT. If there was a
loss-free, bi-directional conversion between LyX and some XML schema
(XHTML, say), then that'd be good enough for now. There is an export
to XHTML function, but I don't think there's an import from XHTML....

Can you point me the address to the wiki please.
I agree that having a bidirectional conversion is nice at first glance (or
first step approximation lets say) but what I really expect in the future is
to have the .lyx format natively use the xml scheme. So then there would be
no need for an importer-exporter tool (except for compatibility with
previous versions) and with all the benefits of xml then LyX will overwhelm
any other word processing software.
