Exactly. And with the advent of lyx2lyx the final argument against not
outputting default values for tabulars is gone.
Just removing the default params from a large table can easily halve the
file size.
Then consider that there's no reason :
\end_inset
</cell>
<cell>
\begin_inset Text
can't be :
</cell><cell>

Frankly, I consider it a hack.
