Hmmm, I'm thoroughly confused: JMarc and Juergen have made (seemingly)
contradictory statements on the possiblity of setting some docuement
settings (especially the language, and the parskip where hebrew differs
from english) within a layout file:

In fact, all the settings that are document-wide are included, unless
there is a bug.

You cannot set this in the layout files. [... but can in the template.]

My analysis:
Comparing LyXTextClass::Read and LyXLayout::Read, it seems that it's
possible to define these settings for a style within the textclass, but
not the document-wide default. Prehaps that's the reason for the
discrepancy.
I'm willing to add these settings to LyXTextClass (and then update
BufferParams::useClassDefaults to incorporate them), if this is the right
way to proceed.
Any comments?
Lior.
