Currently it's a 1:1 version of the current .lyx format, I did not
bother to change anything. The "new" encoding should be the "Standard"

There are two kinds of tags (in LaTeX speak "commands" and
"environments") :

<command opt1="..." .../>

and

<env opt1="..." ...>
        ...
</env>

*grin*. You caught me. Currently, I use 'toXML' functions that are
dummies. Expect that to change to &#34; (or whatever the name for
quotes is) in the final version.

It just says: "Insert ldots here".

No. The current .lyx format does font changes command-like and not
environment-like, so it's sometimes a bit difficult to catch the end of
the environment. In line 111 I clearly missed something...

I think you hit most of the "interesting" spots. Thanks for commenting
;-)
