Hi, this is pretty awesome indeed!
Would it be possible to do somethin OTR-like (in the sense of hiding
extra data) for exchanging cursor movement operations / cursor
location, and changes (typing, ...)? That would make it possible to
collaboratively edit LyX docs.

A quick search for "odt xslt" finds some possibly useful tools and other things:

the OpenOffice XML schemata are too complex but there's some other
intermediate XML schema for which there's a suitably faithful
converter out there, then you could use it as a step in the conversion
process.

I don't think converting directly from .lyx to YAML is going to be any
easier than converting directly to XML is, but if it's *as* easy then
FYI you'll still run into pretty much the same issues I did in

Locking is simpler until you realize that it causes serious problems

I don't want to stop you from locking. I want the option to merge.

Right, the goal is to merge LyX documents. Unless converstion to/from

Nico

LyX has LyXHTML (XHTML), and since I'm using
that, I was hoping I could find an importer from XHTML in particular.
I'd still have to write an XSL for translating from the schema I use,

I'm glad someone's done something in this space! Thanks,

Hi,
I'd like to use LyX + git (or some such VCS) to cooperatively edit
documents. This requires a diff/merge tool that is LyX-aware and can
result in LyX documents that contain diffs that users can merge
manually. Are there any such tools? Thanks,

pandoc uses XSLT under
the covers, in which case you may be able to hack on one of those
stylesheets till you get it to do what you want.
It would be very cool if LyX could add export formats as the
composition of LyXHTML and XSLs!

Using XHTMP export has the benefit that you can then use XSLT. I've
used this successfully to export LyX format to an unrelated XML
schema.

Close enough that I can now author I-Ds in LyX. I've found one more

Nope, it still doesn't allow more than one author in docbook, though
it does merge all the authors listed in the LyX document source.
No, i got that. I don't actually care for docbook. I want a straightforward
translation to XML that preserves all data and metadata. If I need a
specific schema I can always use XSLT to get output in that form.
