There isn't really much in the way of documentation of the LyX format.
A couple of things to note though:
it looks a bit like LaTeX (\begin_inset and \end_inset stuff
with commands for layout (paragraph style))
maths is latex
tables use an XML format since 1.1.6
The parser is fussy about formatting and relies upon things like
\layout Standard
not having any leading or trailing white space although IIRC the
whitespace limitation isn't a problem anymore. They are however
required to be on a line of their own.
reLyX and Buffer::readLyXFormat2() in buffer.C are the closet things
to documentation we have for the format.
