I would argue that the *useful* thing with an editor is that the format used is common, but the geek in me in intrigued -- does LyX expose an (easy) DOM?
The downside of LaTeX would be that, IIRC, it's entirely for typesetting content that is both static and visual. Limiting unless you can extend to, say, embedded audio.
(You may wonder why I harp on this -- it's important to establish at the start the limitations you're willing to accept for any particular project. EG, whether or not you want to support users re-templating your data grid to be the shape of a fish, as is the popular skinning nightmare at my office.)
