Valid reasons.

That doesn't work from linuxdoc, and docbook btw, because the present
implementation for latex is a hack. An to avoid further hacks the support was
suspended.
You can simulate that in linuxdoc, I will send you an example tomorrow as
for the moment I don't have acess to lyx.
The basic idea is that every document is stripped from the header, and
included via sgml. The only drawback is that you need to export your
documents to linuxdoc, remove the header and then join the file to be
include by the master document.
I expect lyx to support this natively soon but for no this scheme will work.
