often avoid conversion to Word, while Humanists just can't.
From my point of view (as someone being in the Humanities), this is almost all
that matters and the criterion that makes LyX -> Docx/ODT conversion useful or
completely useless for me. Everything else is just a plus.
Here, I think it's especially helpful to distinguish "round trip"
conversion, which would be used during collaboration, from final export
for publication. I take it that in the former case we just need to make
sure not to lose bibliographic information. Only in the latter case do
we need to be able to use or mimic biblatex, or whatever, to get the
bibliographic information into some final form.
This sort of thing has been frequently requested just for XHTML: Parse
the bbl file and use that to construct the bibliography. So perhaps the
problem should be solved there first.
