yes.
I could be wrong, but I don't see the benefit of doing the oldLyX to
newLyX transformation using lyx2lyx. Why not just read the oldLyX file
using the existing routines and then write the new one using the new
routines? True, you have to keep the old routines in the code, so there
is that, and if the XML format is as close to the old LyX format as it
seems it might be, the lyx2lyx might be trivial. But if it's not, then
it seems we already have what we need.
