One of our initial goals was to try and maintain an easy to edit file
format should the internal customers need to "tweak" any of the outputs.
The ones who would be doing the editing are less than technically inclined.

Mike,
I REALLY appreciate your making easy to edit file format as a goal. I'd
estimate that half my full-length LyX projects involve editing either with Vim
or with a Perl script. Most of my books start as a VimOutliner outline, which
then is converted by an awk script to LyX native format so that I can handle
my book's structure and even some text in VimOutliner, and when the
structure's correct, move it into LyX. All these things require an easy to
edit LyX native file format.
Could be wrong but I think that Mike was talking about easy to edit
_within_ LyX, nothing to do with the lyx file fomat :-)
Still that your point about easy to edit file format is of course a
priority for LyX developers, no change about that.
Abdel.
