True. (-: It'd be nice if the structure were documented somewhere, though
- whenever I want to write software that generates LyX files, I have to
reverse-engineer the format by inspecting various LyX files. At least, if
I'm using software that's a version or two behind, a later LyX will
generally happily read an "older format" LyX file with just a few
warnings.
