Technically speaking, it is perfectly OK to keep embedded files
anonymous, just like how they exist in MS/Word or OOffice. However,
keeping original filepaths in .lyx file leads to a few convenient
features such as 'un-embed an inset' and 'extract all embedded files'.
More importantly, this allows easy sharing of external files across
different .lyx documents, which is very important for my work.
As Jose has pointed out, there is no need for this information to be
kept in the LyX file itself, and in a sense it makes no sense to keep it
there, since it is machine-specific. So I still do not understand why
you insist upon keeping it there. If you don't keep it there, then none
of the rest of the discussion needs to be had.
