Beg to differ. Forward compatibility is a must and therefore not worth
mentioning. Backward compatibility is nice to have, and I would assume
it between stable minor revisions. So far LyX *was* backward
compatible, at least between the releases I have used (thats 1.0.1 to
1.1.5 IIRC). Remember the Word 97 thingy?

Obviously this is only the second best solution. It would certainly be
nice to have this script in a complete form with some documentation in
the distribution. Is this going to happen? If someone can point out
the differences, I could at least collect them and try my best at a
script (perl, that is :-)).

Or a couple of keystrokes on XEmacs, yes, that is always possible.
Once you know what the problem is.
Remainder: please drop me a copy as well, I'm not on the list.
