Note:
I copied the "source request" from an older iwp9 call.
I think the original idea was to be able to electronically
produce the entire proceedings book, with a uniform layout,
page numbers, toc etc.
I am not sure how this worked out, especially if different
people eventually submitted source files of different nature.
But do not worry:
Worst case, the physical book will be produced by printing
(or copying) the pdf's (which should more or less look
like plan9 docs) on white pages with the right numbers
pre-printed on them, and by preparing the toc by hand.
I think this was done for the 1st iwp9 as well.
So, please do not pay too much attention to the source
requirements, this was definitely not meant to make life
(more) complicated. I can also remove this requirement
completely, if you think it might discourage people.

ron,
look at http://9fans.net/archive/2006/11/59. There are more mails in
2006/11 and 2006/10 about TeX and iwp9.
Probably you migth convert the lyx format to TeX (LaTeX) and apply that
header.
slds.

noble goal: look like plan 9 docs
ways to goal:
1. troff
2. tex with the right macros
3. lyx with the right layouts
so I have this paper written in lyx, if anyone has a pointer to (3),
let me know
