John -- has anyone started character styles yet? This is just a wild guess, 
but could it be accomplished by a translation to 
\begin{\whatever}\begin{\whichever}text to 
format\end{\whichever}\end{\whatever}?

So maybe in the LyX file, it would look like this:

I want character styles

\begin{\charstyle{shout}}
big time

\end{\charstyle{shout}}
, because they're so vital to today's authoring.

Then, assuming shout is defined as Largest and Bold, perhaps LyX could 
translate the begin to \begin{LARGE}\begin{bfseries} and end to 
\end{bfseries}\end{LARGE}

Does that look doable to you?

Thanks

Steve
