Long-term, as I said, we should make layouts version-aware somehow, at
least in so far as we try to detect version during configuration and
enable or disable layouts depending upon which versions we detect. I
can even imagine putting conditional code into layouts themselves.
In that scenario we could use lyx2lyx machinery to convert/revert
between layout versions. The code would use a hook to call lyx2lyx if
the layout used in the document had a different version from the
available system or local layout.
This should be the easiest part. :-)
Yes, this all seems do-able to me, and without too much trouble. We
might need some kind of special syntax with which to call lyx2lyx, since
this wouldn't be a format conversion in the usual, linear sense. (Georg
noticed this, too.)
