The idea looks simple at first. But then one has to decide where to install the downloaded optionally parts of LyX distribution. One option is to install it for every user and don't require admin privileges. The other option is to install (and possibly upgrade) them system wide and force to user to acquire the appropriate privileges. Or provide the option to choose at install time. However, it gets a complicated matter quickly. BTW, on a Mac it's no option to add the dictionaries after download to the LyX bundle. A downloaded program bundle has to be immutable or it is blocked by the security guards and marked as broken package. This would force the installation and lookup of the dictionary files at runtime at an alternate location. Perhaps we should stick to the current scheme (dictionaries bundled with the LyX package) on Mac until a better solution is ready and postpone this for the time after the 2.2 release.
How does LibreOffice do it. They do offer separate language support with an installer.
