Oh, I think I understand better now. So the plan is to have native exports to both .tex and MathML? In this case, tex would not be strictly necessary to publishing, so it makes sense calling it an "export". So the main criterion for the new xml-ish .lyx should be to retain all the main features of all the exportable languages? Seems to be a big job. I'm begining to like the idea of this new .lyx format. Joćo.
