What I want of the Lyx file format is that it should be an direct
mapping of the buffer structure, this makes it easy to parse and easy
to write. We are not there yet, but we are a lot closer.
Of course we could choose tags names to make it _look_ like sgml or
latex, but I don't see the benefit of that. Users looking at the file
might instead belive that this is LaTex or sgml, currently they will
never make that mistake.
