Conversion at the File->Import... and File->Export... level would be just a matter of writing the necessary XSLs. Conversion at the cut-n-paste level is not something I can speak to with confidence at this time. I'll note only that if the content being pasted is known to be XML in some schema then LyX could invoke an XSL to convert it to .lyx. Nico --
