* we write LyX for users, not for developers. If _really_ needed, we can
  put the read-only setting inside a DEVEL_VERSION block, but I do not
  like that

* People writing documentations will find their work files in the
  recently opened files menu, or in their session file. 

* it is not possible anyway to open both the english version of the docs
  and the german version through the help menu.

* I know no other application which present ability of editing its own
  docs as a feature :)
