  In this case, if my memory serves me well, I think that we can get away 
without changing the file format. The rationale is the following, if you 
revert your file to 1.4 lyx will maintain the optarg inset in the paragraph. 
I know that because I have (ab)used this in my thesis.

  The recipe (for lyx 1.4) is simple, create a new file, select title as the 
first paragraph and insert a Short Title there, save the file. Use an 
external editor and change the paragraph style from Title to the one 
intended, save the file. If you open the file with LyX you will get the 
selected style paragraph with the optional argument.

  Since this implies that if you revert the file from 1.5 to 1.4 the inset 
will be there and if you save it back we recover the insets I propose to 
forget this issue since it works in the spirit intended for retroversions, no 
datalosses should occur when saving for an older version.

 Does anyone has any problem with this approach?
