To translate macros, custom latex styles, bibtex, cross-reference numbers, 
etc.. ELyXer would haeve to work like tex4ht in two steps :

1) parse the LyX file and translate what it can and mark (Y) what he does 
does not understand

2) Look in the pdf how latex has rendered Y  and translate it to html

ELyXer looks like it is doing step 1 correctly. Step 2 could be added later. 

People that have complex documents should use tex4ht.

Cheers,
Charles
