Maybe, but that letters can have parts behind the \end{letter} command is a fact. And the "bad" implementation of beamer is a consequence of missing LyX support for certain commands.

Attached is what I want to have in branch. You can see that serial letters work also fine with branch - when you start with the example files. So can I proceed?
