An alternative (and in some ways cleaner) approach using sed.

This requires you to paint the two alternative versions in magenta and
blue, respectively. All other colours are output to both versions. You
have to process the .lyx file by a command

sed -f versiona.sed <myfile.lyx >myfile_a.lyx
sed -f versionb.sed <myfile.lyx >myfile_b.lyx

This could be made a lot more elegant by

1) Including dedicated 'colours' for this on the character dialogue, leaving
   the real colours alone
2) placing the above commands as one output item on the menu.

...if there is an interest in this, of course ;-)

I haven't been thinking very deeply about this, but here might also be an
approach to the multiple versions/comparison question that came up
earlier. How realistic is that?
