If I had to implement something, I would do it in C++ within LyX 
personnally. Nothing but LyX knows its internal Buffer structure... I 
once thought that lyx2lyx knows about it but no, it doesn't... 
Conversion would be one-pass, fast and correct. And it could also be 
reused for rich text clipboard purpose.
