I think it's great! In fact I have always thought as one of the
benefits of having an external LyX->HTML converter that there is an
alternative implementation of the LyX format, even if not complete yet
and read-only.

If you want we may move the discussion to elyxer-users for eLyXer
specifics, as LyX users may find it boring.

Thanks,

Alex.
