I would prefer to keep the current LyX format as it is (reference to external stuff only) and have the manifest provide a table that relates external paths to internal ones. This would mean that the .lyx file is 100% identical in embedded and non-embedded mode. The bundle format should be a wrapper around an unchanged .lyx format. JMarc
