Me neither. I think we should use the lyx file format to pass stuff through
the dispatch methods and use the various read and write methods to parse it
and generate it respectively. That way we are guaranteed that things will
work always. Moreover, it makes it really easy to deal with the outside world
through the LyX server. No need to document any "magic".

This is a little better than the current solution (mine ;-) but is still less
than elegant.
