At least here on the Mac LyX-1.5.6 DOES show the .lyx15-files.

IMHO it should be configurable via a preferences setting that a new
LyX version uses by default the file format of the previous one, still
named with the extension .lyx. (MS Word has such an option, which is
quite useful.)
Of course, using the old file format may imply that some new features
are not available or do not become permanent in the saved file.
Nevertheless, it would be of tremendous help to restrict newer LyX
versions to the older format -- especially during transition times
(e.g., while trying out release candidates or when not all co-authors
have already updated to the newest version.)
