I am not sure we are discussing the same thing. Assume one has a file
in 1.4 file format with contents in latin1 and some layout names in
latin1 too. What do you propose to do?

I see two solutions.

1/ first convert the latin1 file to utf8 in one sweep and hope that
lyx2lyx will not butcher it when translating to 1.5 file format

2/ first convert to 1.5 file format. Then only the layout names should
be converted in a second step. I do not think that iconv would
appreciate to see UTF8 characters in a file which is supposed to be
latin1.
