Unfortunately I cannot easily check on these since now all new files on
git now seem to be in format 543, ahead of alpha1-1.

Yes, because development continues. Until the beta release it might be that the fileformat needs to be changed further in order to fix bugs.

Don't get me wrong here: Please, do not export all of them back to
2.2-format just for me.
But is there something like just a lyx2lyx script to get current alpha
to read these files?

No, you need to take the latest LyX version from git master and compile LyX from it if you can. If not, alpha2 or beta 1 comes out in a few days or weeks.

In your comment on git you wrote that the files for nl are "outdated".
I had a feeling like that but couldn't tell for sure.
That makes me wonder if it would be a good idea to supplement the
'current date' in the documents, which just reflect when they were
typeset, with a last modified snippet?

We once had the date below the title but that was removed. i cannot remember when and why. Nevertheless the hope is that a Dutch user comes up helping to update the docs. But with Dutch it is like with the Scandinavian languages. The people in these countries know English so good that they don't invest time for translations.

That way of transparency may accomplish:
– make those docs needing a rework the most far easier to identify
– reduce possible confusion of users
– remind the user to maybe look for more up-to-date info (the web, the
lists etc.)

Fine with me. But for e.g. the Dutch Tutorial I would need to know Dutch to add such infos below the title of the file.
