That's not strictly true. The LyXServer can have many clients so long as they
supply it with different clientnames. It then communicates with them by
outputting
LYXSRV:<clinetname>:<command>:<argument>
to lyxpipe.out.
However, I take your point if you're saying that (were we to use sockets) the
client would not have to parse this message to ascertain whether it was the
intended recipient.
