As far as I know, the situation is the same. I have tried importing
XHTML, HTML and MathML and it works just like Word: XHTML (including
MathML) doesn't work, text is recognized, subtitles are fine, anything
beyond that is botched. I don't know if there is any route other than
HTML to get LyX into OpenOffice.org.
