I actually see no point in handling paragraphs as  "aliens".
True, there are some difficulties to represent every kind of nested 
structure in LaTeX. But I think that should be an issue of the
"export to LaTeX" modul, not of LyX's internal representation.

I see at least two reasons:

1. LyX is *more* than a LaTeX frontend, so the excuse "LaTeX can't cope
   with it (natively), so we can't have it in LyX" might put off people
   who want do use LyX for HTML or maybe even just for displaying
   things on screen.

2. It is much more user friendly to say "Nest whatever you (the user)
   want, we (LyX) figure out how to translate it into LaTeX"
   -- and I think it is more WYSIWYM than telling the user that (s)he
   cannot mean "nested paragraphs" because there are no such beasts 
   in LyX.

PS: Erm... well... I think, it's time to mention it again:
    I really, really like LyX ;-)
