So I could go either way.

The only advantage of using another file extension such as .lyb is to
tell users immediately if a file is in a bundled format. However,
because of the existence of compressed .lyx file, it does not help to
decide if it is safe to svn or view a .lyx file. Also, there are
problems with using another extension:

1. I want to save to the same file if I disable/enable embedding.
(File->Open, Enable Embedding, File -> Save becomes Save As).

2. In case that there is no embedded file, .lyx file will *not* be
saved in a bundled format even if embedding is enabled. That is to
say, it is not trivial to tell in advance which file format will be
used.
Right.
