I have no problems with that as long as this is a concious decision of the user. However, having things like my user name and modification/access date dumped silently into the file is no option.
Lyx already have tools->preferences->identity. Currently, you may enter a name and an email address there - or use a pseudonym or leave them blank. Change tracking uses this field - PDF metadata could also use this page. It is then up to the user to fill out the settings with whatever they like.
The username is not a good idea anyway - there are times when the username don't match the real name very well anyway. Helge Hafting
