Such a thing unfortunately does not exist. We have begun in 1.3.0 to
document changes in the file format, but the best way to understand
the format is unfortunately to look at example files or read the

I strongly second this motion. I understand that the LyX format is
changing, but it would still be nice to have some definitive information
in front of me.
