As the "former" maintainer of most of the docs, I finally had a chance to have a look. While most of the changes are fine, (and I thank you for taking the time to bring it up to speed), I think John Weiss, the original writer, would "have a cow" if he saw the first page on the screen. There is way too much ERT, making it very hard to read on-screen - the way most people are going to read it.
Back in the dark ages, when we argued over this stuff incessantly, we felt that the Tutorial and the User Guide should be as "plain as possible" so that it would be easy to read on screen, and not too unpleasant to look at in print. I think that philosophy needs to be maintained. So while I admire your goal of a linkable, PDF (or print) document, I don't think Userguide.lyx is the file to mangle to get that. I wonder if there wouldn't be some way to write a post-processor to take the LyX file (or the LaTeX output) and insert the necessary commands to handle all the fancy stuff. That way Userguide.lyx could still be plain and readable, while it wouldn't be too onerous to make a pretty PDF file.
