.layout files are non-trivial to most lyx users, and it is convenient
to send someone a .zip file with everything in it.

How about:

+Lyx can not create, but can open a .lyx file with .cls and .layout files
+stored in the same directory as the .lyx file. That is to say, if you send
+your co-author a .lyx file with associated class and layout files, s/he
+can view and modify the .lyx file directly, without having to install the
+.cls and .layout files, reconfigure and restart lyx. Note that the .cls and

+should you use different directories for master and child documents.

As usual, one big task has been the ongoing code cleanup of the LyX
