But you remind me of something: Assuming one writes completely styles-based HTML, the conversion to either LyX or LaTeX would be trivial -- everything would be implemented by a style which could then be defined (better defined) in LyX or LaTeX. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to turn <span> into a character style, and <p>, <div>, <h?> into environments, and just pass the styles straight through.
