I really think that lyx<->tex conversion cannot be one-to-one exactly.
So you are going to loose information. What about quote insets? What
you are going to propose is to add so much meta-information to .tex
that you will have invented a new hybrid fileformat---which we may
call .tyx ;)---, which will be yet another format that lyx has to
understand. And I do not see why the 'proof' environment should
survive translation, since the article document would then not be
typesetable.
An idea I had in mind some time ago was, when a layout cannot be
translated, to do as if it was 'standard', but remember the layout
name so that it does not get lost. In your case, it would look like
Standard, but be written as 'proof' in the lyx file. Certainly much
easier than what you propose.

Can you give examples? Were you jealous not to have 'locking insets'
in mathed?
