Hi,
firstly I'd like to thank the dev team for the excellent work put into
the 1.5 series so far with respect to Unicode support.
I'm trying to get Unicode output to work with XeTeX and LyX 1.5.0 on
Windows. (Incidentally, XeTeX should also solve many of the problems
others were having with Sanskrit.) Getting XeTeX to run works fine
using the instructions from the wiki (the semantics for the "New" button
in both the Formats and Converters dialogs are a bit confusing first).
However there is a problem with Unicode characters. XeTeX processes
UTF-8 natively and does not need the inputenc package (in fact inputenc
confuses XeTeX). In order to get UTF-8 output from LyX, I have to set
the output encoding to utf8 or to utf8x, both of which produce an
\usepackage{inputenc} line. There is apparently no way of getting UTF-8
from LyX without an inputenc line. Would it be possible to add
bare-bones UTF-8 output as an extra output encoding option ("UTF-8 Raw"
or something)?

PS: I'm currently in Uzbekistan with a very flaky modem line and (every
two weeks or so) a visit to an Internet cafe with an 128kbps uplink as
my connection to the outside world. As a result I can't really do SVN
checkouts and the like, and I'm forced to read the list on a somewhat
irregular basis; please bear with me if I'm a bit slow to answer.
