I don't know enough to give an adequate summary, but here are some starting 
points.

Import documentation:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/usage/invoking-musicxml2ly

Export feature tracker:
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=665&q=musicxml&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Stars%20Owner%20Patch%20Needs%20Summary

Work done on musicxml2ly for Philomelos.net that has not yet been incorporated 
back into the version shipped with LilyPond:  (the low hanging fruit?)
