The later option, since sometimes between different versions that way as lyx outputs whitespace changes for no apparent reason. That is always a question of 90%-10%, if the code only requires a single line to have the same output as whitespaces concerned I will do it, else I don't bother. > - What input does lyx2lyx accept?

I have developed also some code technics to deal with those cases without resorting to regular expressions. > - Does lyx2lyx rely on a syntactically correct file or are error conditions > to be checked and reported?
