Actually, some simple .lyx evolution rules can be used to keep lyx2xml general and working. And it can be run as part of tests to ensure that it hasn't broken (as Kornel Benko suggested). That would be ideal. But right now the script doesn't have full coverage of every .lyx feature, just the ones I've used. So it's too soon to start using it for tests, I think. Nico --
