We use a python script external to the LyX executable to 'upgrade' your existing LyX files to 1.3 format. The advantages to us are less code to maintain in side of LyX. the advantages to you are a clear definition of any changes in the LyX file format. However, this obviously requires that python is installed... HTH, -- Angus
